3 Days In

I am ending my third day of the Sugar War and so far so good.  I have to admit the first day was the worst.  I am pretty sure I craved sugar all day but the last two days have been pretty good.  My mouth didn't salivate today when someone offered me a cookie.  Also, I am pleased to report that Saturday I had some peppers for a snack and today it was watermelon.  I think the natural sugar is helping me fight the sweet tooth. 

I am pleased so far and hope I can keep this up.  Actually, I know the only reason I have made it these past few days is because the Lord is helping me.  I know I can't win this war by myself and I am glad I have finally enlisted the help I need. 

This is War

My war against sugar starts in the morning.  I have waged this war and successfully kept the enemy at bay for a few months but defeat has always come.  I realize though, that this is a battle that I must engage in.  I have been reading from the Church's addiction recovery manual, and I believe that I have an addiction to sugar.  I don't think it runs my life but I find that when I am having a bad day at work or feeling bad about myself, instead of dealing with those things, I eat something sugary.  

Anyways, wish me luck, there are some bleak days ahead.

Pain Medicine

I decided I would experiment today with my pain medicine.  I wanted to see if I really needed to take it.  I must say the day started off well.  Now having done my chores for the day, I find I must take some.  So sad.  Oh well, I am now wondering should I just take it in the morning like I have or wait until I feel the pain.  Part of me thinks to take it in the morning so I don't have to feel any pain.  It seems like once the pain gets enough that you know you need the medicine it just takes forever for it to go away.  My goodness, decisions, decisions.
