Wise choice on not eating no-sugar ice cream at this stage san.

my darling friends, i can't thank you enough for all the well wishes and continuing support.  it is now 1 week w/o sugar.  yay!!!

ZR, best to you when you decide to quit smoking.  that one's my worst.  i've quit for 15 yrs. once, 5 yrs. another time, nearly 2 yrs. and on and on.  currently i still have about 2 a week - they really help me w/ stress, even tho they hurt me in every other way.  but, there's always hope, and i've got a lot of hope for you.  and thanks again for the love and the hugs. 

thank you hope for your ongoing encouragement and support.  much appreciated.

hannah1 - i love the solidarity!  thank you for that. 

blueberry, i really appreciate the validation on the no-sugar ice cream.  from other addiction experience, too close means several steps closer to the edge, and that's harder to pull back from, and ultimately fails for me.  thanks for all your support.

well, it's been a week, sugar free.  i've been getting some major anxiety attacks the past 2 nites, very close to panic, actually, and i'm wondering if there might be a bit of withdrawal going on.  i wouldn't be surprised.  but, i'll keep riding this wave, keep letting the bus go by. 

no therapy yesterday - my T got in a car accident.  so, looking forward to next week.  she was willing to take me on later yesterday, but i told her she's got plenty of bull **** to deal w/, i'm ok for another week, and she laughed, we laughed together, and she said it felt good to do that.  so, it ended well, but i'm sure she's pretty sore today.

Oh, sorry if my post was ambiguous.  I quit smoking in 2008.  It stuck.  I don't even consider it as an option.  Just like you'll eventually get to with sugar.  You're doing so great so far!

Glad you were able to handle it well when therapy got cancelled yesterday.  That did seem like a good way to handle it.

Sending love and hugs.
