But I do have massive cravings for carbs and sweets. Crazy, out-of-control needs for cookies and cakes and pies and doughnuts... On and on. I have no doubt this is just a sort of transference of my obsessive/compulsive side rearing its head in the realm of another substance category--food. I don't like it. Am trying to mitigate it. But it is better than drinking or using, that's for sure, so I try not to judge myself too harshly. Overalll, I am doing pretty well for me.
