[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are not "addicted." You have fallen into a lifelong bad habit that you are smart enough to realize has to stop. It will not be easy, but you just have to do it.

You know yourself better than any of us. For me, substituting other chocolate (beverages or otherwise) would NOT be the answer. I would just  go cold turkey and suffer through a week or so of headaches and cravings. Eventually, your palate will change and you will not crave the stuff the way you do now. But -- and this is key -- you have to be willing to go through the tough part without giving in.

Try cutting out all chocolate flavors from your foods as well. And then just stop. Take it one day at a time. When you crave the chocolate milk, go do something else (exercise, perhaps?) It will take some time, but not forever. And then you will come to a point where merely looking at chocolate milk will make you sick to your stomach.

[b]PS - PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT HERE -- THIS IS WHY PARENTS SHOULD NEVER START THEIR KIDS ON CHOCOLATE MILK IN THE FIRST PLACE!  IT IS CRAP AND THEY DON'T NEED IT!!!  STICK TO PLAIN MILK, PLEASE[/b]![/quote]

Listen, I have no doubt that OP is struggling with her horrible chocolate milk habit.  However, there is nothing inherently evil about chocolate milk.  Sure, kids shouldn't have it all the time but c-milk can serve as a great substitute for other, more sugar-laden items in one's diet.

I hate to say it but OP's problem has more to do with just the sugar addiction.  She mentioned that her father gave it to her daily until he left when she was 14.  I'm sure her "need" for chocolate milk has much more to do with her subconcious desire to stay attached to those happy moments with her dad.  It could've been anything -- in this case, it was chocolate milk.  [/quote]
