Hi everyone,
I thought I would post this in case it's useful to anyone who is plugging along in the early days of going AF.
The past two days for me have been absolute HELL regarding cravings :upset:
I have always thought the first 4 days were the worst, but this time around, Day 10 and 11 have really had their way with me and it has been a struggle. I keep reminding myself "No one said this would be EASY." Okay. So it's just not easy. But also not impossible (I keep telling myself this). I am holding out for the day when Choochie promises me it gets better, right around day 45.
In the meantime, I am eating toasted oats cereal with raw sugar and raw milk, so it's at least a semi-healthy, kind of sweet treat that seems to fill a void. Maybe because of the carbs. Also drinking green drinks, per Choochie's suggestion. I also believe the All One powder is helping. I seem to have a lot of energy and feel pretty balanced for many hours after drinking that. The weird thing is that I never used to crave carbs (probably because I got all I needed from two bottles of wine), and I loved protein.Now I don't seem to crave the protein.
My poor body. It must be so confused, not knowing what I am going to subject it to next...I know it's just a matter of time until things settle down, but I would love to hear some success stories from those who have recently traveled this road...
All of that to say I am still sober and very grateful tonight....as well as encouraged by Madman's 30 sober days!!! THAT IS FANTASTIC, MM, and it sure gives me hope :l

Also, I am so happy for your Day 12. That is fantastic! And yes, I am taking the supps, but I think today I will up the Kudzu to 900 mgs. and add some glutamine.
