It could have been worse

Yesterday I had a migraine attack that lasted 11 hours. It's been a long time since I had such a strong attack. I am very aware of what triggered the attack, I have mismanaged my diet and eaten far too much candy during Christmas. It is now beyond doubt that I am hypersensitive to sugar. Completely quitting sweets will be very difficult for me, so I choose to do it in stages.

Starting January 1, 2025, I will only allow myself to eat sweets on Saturdays, after which I hope to be able to stop completely before the summer. My parents have 2 siblings each, so I have a total of 4 aunts and uncles. Of these, 3 were alcoholics, as were my grandparents on both my mother's and father's side. The only people who haven't had or have problems with alcohol are my parents and my mother's brother. Given the addiction problems on both my mother and father's side, I'm grateful that my addiction is sugar and not alcohol.
