[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: regardless of this being an emotional dependency or a chemical dependency, it's still a dependency. Chemicals get us addicted by unleashing chemicals in our brain that makes us feel good. That feeling is what we go back for.
I have tried to go cold turkey. Then every time I have a rough patch, a stressful week or something really upsets me, I go back. Do you know how stupid I feel walking into a grocery store with my kids past their bed time because I HAD to have chocolate milk? Do you know how embarrassing this is? Trust me, if it was just a matter of will, I would never had chocolate again.

And yes, my kids are allowed to have chocolate milk. Only once in a blue moon, however.[/quote]

OP, I once worked in an office that had a hot cocoa machine. That shit was SO GOOD. At some point, I realized I was having three hot cocoas a day, and decided it was probably too much. So the next day I had none, and got a wicked headache. Withdrawal. Cold turkey is not the way to go. Wean off it. What I'd suggest is getting chocolate syrup instead of pre-made chocolate milk, and pouring less and less in each day. Less chocolate syrup each day, and smaller and smaller glasses each day. Also, find something that is soothing to you to replace the morning and evening milks. A big part of it is the ritual. Maybe after you've weaned yourself chemically you can replace the morning chocolate milk with a different drink like orange juice, and the evening drink with Sleepytime tea. You see? Address both, one at a time. [/quote]
