Food cravings...yep, I get them too. I think I have an addictive personality--anything that gives me pleasure (and a few things that cause pain) I get addicted to. Part of my alcohol and drug recovery depends on keeping my other addictions and obsessions under control. If I let one get out of hand, pretty soon the others start to go...like a cascading effect. I hope this does not sound too dramatic, but eating right and not binging is an important part of my recovery and could lead me back down the road to picking up the bottle or pipe if I don't keep it in check. The physical aspect of recovery is very important to me. I am not saying that one binge in a Mexican restaurant is going to lead to margaritas...but given time, it all takes it's toll.
