Also an oddity....I am borderline diabetic and so I try to control my diet. I needed alcohol or sugar so I decided to go with less of two evils. I bought jelly donuts, chocolate, licorice and cookies. It stopped the alcohol cravings but I don't dare check my glucose levels. At least I am sober thru day 1.
What a strange and baffling disease. Why would one choose this existence?

I went sober for eight weeks, up until christmas, when the celebrations were to great to ignore. The pins and needles in my feet and hands had virtually disappeared, people were telling me that I looked really well, I was eating well, back at work, and generally enjoying life again. Now I am back to square 1.
Alcohol is a cheat and a liar. You think you have beat it, but you never can. It is a legal evil. But SecondChances, don't beat yourself up over a lapse, you've done it before so you can get back on that wagon. Good luck buddy.
