Giving up smoking was the hardest thing I've ever done, it was two weeks of feeling physically miserable (and sometimes like my skin had fire ants crawling all over it), but as with the herb (which wasn't fun to quit, but easier) it came down to a question of money, I was smoking so much that a choice had to be made between "Do I quit these things, or do I stick with them and end up homeless?". Casual sex wasn't something I quit by choice either, I had a friend with benefits situation but then she met her current partner and it came to an end, and now the anti-depressants I'm mean that I'm unable to have sex more than once a week as it is (and I've now reached an age where I no longer want casual sex, but a longterm loving partner), and I quit alcohol because I went out earlier this year for a friend of a friend's birthday, he drunkenly started a fight and it's a miracle he wasn't killed, they beat him in such a way that it was terrifying (I'm pretty sure all were either in the military or at least had been) due to the way they were hitting him, and I hid in the corner absolutely terrified, and haven't touched a drop since.
I know the above is all a bit extreme but the main reason I quit my vices are due to no longer being able to afford them, I'm physically unable to indulge, or slightly traumatised by what I saw, whereas crisps, croissants, chocolate, etc, etc, aren't an issue and as they're my only way to get a high it seems I'm really struggling, despite the physical pain it causes me.
I will do my best to go low carb, and I'm in the UK, London, out of interest, what's the low sugar / carb chocolate you have each day?
Thank you for the above too, I'd not heard of the phrase disordered eating before, but will look in to it.
