I get a fix 3 times a day, been doing it for years. I finally decided enough was enough, this addiction was surely affecting my health.

Cold turkey it is, damn the symptoms!

Dizziness, light head, shakiness, it comes in waves sometimes becoming quite intense. This is day 3 and it isn't getting any easier...

I have been able to get some relief after meal times.

It's taking all my self discipline to endure this misery:( I sure miss those semi-sweet dark chocolate morsels:ROFLMAO:

you jest I know.. but withdrawing from Chocolate particularly dark chocolate is very real ,,,because of the caffeine.. theobromine, sugar, and fats....which are all highly additve.. and stopping can cause tiredness , irritability, mood swings...

I'm being serious here.... it takes a few weeks to get over it
 
I understand and sympathize, a few Hershey’s Special Dark baking chips is one of my favorite diet crutch foods.

So, eat them. Go ahead. You know you wanna....
 
I am addicted to anything sweet, chocolate and Fritos.
If I do not eat them, I feel like I am going to die.
Sometimes when I do eat them, I feel like I am going to die. :LOL:

What is the hardest for me is when I go to someone's house to eat.
I feel like I need to eat their food. I do not want to insult anyone.

I quit smoking this way. I wrote the time when I smoked one, on the package. Made myself wait a full hour, until the next one. On day two, I increased the waiting period to two hours. Next day, increased the waiting period to 4 hours. By the end of the week, I could go six hours without smoking one. BY week 2, I was able to go eight hours. BY week 3, I had quit smoking. That was ten years ago. I quit drinking at the same time as I quit smoking. The harder one to quit? Tobacco, by a country mile.

It helped that my Wife was never a smoker, and she was a great source of support , telling me how much better I smelled, after quitting smoking. Now I cannot STAND the smell of tobacco. I have one drink per year, on New Year's Eve. A single glass of white wine. JIMB>

I think if they are really your friend, telling them ahead of time what you won't/ don't eat, is a courtesy to their choice of foods. JIMB>
