Chocolate!

Right away from the title I can almost hear Doc saying "That is not your food!" No worries though...I didn't fall over board. In fact, I haven't eaten any. Today that is my problem. Chocolate is one of those foods that I miss on occasion. With Easter coming up, the stores are flooded with candy galore. Sadly, so is the cereal aisle every week. I can walk past it without even a glance. My dad forgets and offers me a little piece and I decline. His M&M car dispenser is still there, but I don't push the hood to get a handful. Today, I just want a bite. However, I am smart enough to know that it wouldn't stop there. I made myself a substitute: hot cocoa made from cocoa powder, milk, and stevia. It's not quite the same, but it's enough to satisfy my want. I can have a mug full, drink it slow and enjoy it. This is only the second mug of it I've had in my six weeks of recovery. In some ways, I thought this recovery journey would be harder....especially with changing habits. God must have His hand on me in a major way because I am doing well. To God be the glory! All things are possible with Jesus.
