Default Yes, you trade addictions

I traded my food addiction to a shopping addiction. I just look most of the time, but it keeps me busy and I walk a lot through the stores and malls. I never drank and can't stand the taste of alcohol, so I guess that is a good thing. Living with an alcoholic (my ex-husband) was enough for me! Icky.
I do drink coffee and Kelly (nurse practitioner for Dr. Callery/Potts) says go for it. I use sugarfree vanilla syrup with non-fat milk and it is great. I waited until 2-1/2 months out though to start drinking coffee and I only started with sips.
