I read that there is a medication in the works to work on the addictive part of the brain. Right now there isn't a cure.  You can stop doing the addictive activity but it's not a cure, just restraint.  Lot's of times it turns into changing the addiction to something else. I quit drinking and now I eat too much candy even though I wasn't much of a candy person before. I also buy more scratch tickets.

The sugar might turn into fat when it gets into your system, but not until then.\nKeep in mind, diet softdrinks aren't any better for you than the sugar loaded ones- the artificial sweeteners are suspected of causing mental problems and more.  the carbonation is bad for you too.  If anyone has the willpower to drink only water, milk, and maybe a little fruit juice (no sugar added)- will find themselves feeling and looking better in a few weeks.

Yes, but you have to take into account how many sugars are involved and adjust your sugar intake for the rest of the day, or adjust your insulin to compensate.

You may never get it, or you may get it tomorrow. If you are fit and exercise and are keeping active, you are no doubt burning all the carbs and sugars before they turn around and bite you in the butt. However, you may build an intolerence to your insulin, and if that happens, you will no longer be able to get rid of those sugars quickly. Diabetes is a silent preditor, so if I were you, I would simply watch the amount of sugar consumed and find out what the healthy amount of carbs and sugar are consumable for someone your age and weight and height. Moderation is always the key. Why push luck?

sugar feeds you a rush and when you crash it is like a downer as you lose energy and that high feeling. you need something to eat that will slowly release sugar in your system. carrots are good. you might be diabetic

Not all meds are chemically or physically addicting. Theres a stigma on mental health everybody thinks for some reason it can be fixed by god.. sooo don't worry about it.. if you are doing better that's all that matters. It's very likely someday you will no longer need medication.

Yeah, me too, I started useing it awhile back, a couple of years ago actually. But before I knew it I was taking them faithfully, couldnt even think of bed without popping one first, then I realized I was becoming addicted, didnt know if it  was physical addiction or psychological but definetly a problem.  Now I use exercise and warm milk

I have seen a documentary a couple of years ago about men being attracted to fat women. One guy, I recall, was claiming that fat is addictive in the sense that the fatter his partner the fatter he was seeking the next time. I do not have the capacity to judge if this is a question of taste or a mental disorder but as far as I know there are clubs of such fans of fat partners

There are sugar free peanut butters and plenty of sugar free products out there.   \n\nYou may need to consult your doctor if you aren't aware of how many grams of sugar is okay for you.  I wouldn't necessarily rely on strangers for medical advise.

marijuana is only *psychologically* addictive, not *physically* addictive. caffeine and alcohol are *physically* addictive (i.e. if you're addicted, you will experience withdrawal, increased tolerance, and essentially, your body physically needs the drug to function). \n\nmarijuana is only addictive in the sense that your brain will slowly adjust to repeated use of the drug, causing stuff like "amotivational syndrome" (exactly what it says - you become lazier).\n\nthe short-term effects, essentially, are that you get high. slower reflexes, sensitivity to touch and light, the whole deal. the more you have, and the more THC is in the dose, the stronger the effects. it affects your driving ability significantly. \n\nit is physically impossible to overdose on marijuana.\n\nlong-term effects are purely psychological - but there are some other issues. marijuana is a very popular gateway drug - i.e. teenagers will try it, think it's cool, and use it as a "gateway" to harder drugs, like ecstasy, cocaine, heroin... which are all highly addictive and easy to overdose on.\n\nyou can obviously get lung cancer and stuff from marijuana, but notably, studies show that you can't get emphysema from marijuana.

Yes it can lead into diabetes if you are not careful, if your blood suger gets low use glucose tabs, peanut butter, eggs, or juice to level it out, but never sugary candy, watch your candy intake, I too have this problem
