Answer
Hi Michael,

Well unfortunately you have become addicted to it.

Drug addiction can be beaten with sufficient motivation, if you realize that it is physiological disease and not so much a mental illness. Most drug addicts are found to be hypoglycemic, so this is the first step in treatment. Thus you need to go on a hypoglycemic diet.

Please read:

and ask for a referral to a Nutritional Doctor, a Clinical Nutritionist or a Nutritional Psychologist.
