Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Off Topic Help- how to quit an addiction

Okay,

the thread title might be confusing but here my dilemma:

Since I'm a kid, I often get headaches and, less often 'Cephalees' (does such a word exist?). I tried taking pain killers, consulted MD or medecine professors.

They prescribed me various treatments only their diagnosis always related the headaches with other symptoms instead of trying to cure the headache alone.

I ended un in a newly created hospital, specialized in Headaches and 'Cephalees'. And, the first thing they told me to do, as a test, was to... quit chocolate, at least for three months to see if it's of some impact in the health department.

At this point, I have to clarifiy that I'm a chocolate addict and that asking me to ban chocolate is like asking me to quit journalism or to forget about desserts. I'll loose it in two weeks (make it one for desserts).

So I was wondering if any of you had this kind of problem, but most importantly: how do you cope?

Thanks in advance for replying and/or sharing,

Carole

Give up chocolate?

Find out if you're allowed to have carob. It's not the same as chocolate, but it's a pretty good substitute.

Thanks Rivka,

carob could be the solution, I'll ask and try (well, if I can).

PS: LOL on your graemlin, my thought exactly!
