HELP: How Do I Overcome Sugar Addiction? by Nobody: 10:48pm On Sep 01, 2014
Hello NLers, this might come to you as crazy but the title says it all.

I've been battling with Sugar addiction for over 6 years now and it has completely gotten out of hand now. As at present, I just can't do without having sugar in my system; at least 15 times daily. It's that bad!

I didn't really regard it as an addiction until I decided to give myself a trial of going 2 days without taking anything sugary...... I fell terribly sick! That was the day it dawned on me that I was addicted to sugar.

Please I need your suggestions. I just can't go around Googling (though I've gathered some important info) I need to hear from the Nigerian tongue, perhaps there might be need for herbal prescription.

I really need your help, it's killing me.

..For the past 6 years, you have been with battling sugar addiction....

..You are not determined to reduce or stop the addiction....your determination is not enough.....

...I was once addicted to drinking coca-cola evryday in school...i take garri with sugar etc....i noticed the side-effects.....determined in my heart to stop using or taking it......

..You can google some side-effects of taking too much sugar...atleast, it will strenghten your determination to quit sugar....remember too much of evrything is not good....

I will try that. I will do my best on that. But note that I have tried it before and I fell sick as a result, that was why I feared going without it.

All the same, thank you so much. I'll give it a try.

...I dont understand why someone will fall sick by only trying to reduce their sugar intake....I believe twas just a coincidence....

..Well, lets compare it to cigarettes addiction....People who are addicted to smoking and are willing to reduce or stop usually complain of some changes in their body ....
..Maybe your body is trying to adjust to the changes occuring in your body...your body is trying to change from its hyperglycemic state to a normoglycemic state......you need to continue the therapy

This is a very serious case. Just do the test (RBS) and seek help from a physician on how you can reduce your sugar consumption.

Well, while u r doing d suggested test, you can substitute water for any sugary drink. Anytime there is cravings for sugary drink, always take water.

thats a brilliant idea sir, thanks a lot. A friend of mine suggested that I also take Bitter Leaf water too once a day to see if I'd kill the urge.

In addition to water, also try to drink yoyo bitters or ashietu bitters. It would help stabilize ur blood sugar
