Hi, I know all too well about addiction. I've had

a few myself and they aren't easy to beat and can

take years but in my case of eating a couple of baked

potatoes/cups of soup a month, I can honestly say that hasn't

yet triggered a response to want more cooked food. I

enjoy the potato/bean soup but I honestly look forward

to getting back to 100% raw after that. If this

practice did set off a cooked eating binge or made me slip

below a level of 98-99%, I'd abstain but so far, so

good. <br><br> & lt; & lt;What we think are innocent<br>

cravings are not innocent at all. I know I am being harsh,

but if you go<br> back and read your posts you can

see that you are justifying. & gt; & gt;<br><br>I don't

remember saying I had any cooked food cravings. I said I

had none at all except for bread for about 15 minutes

one day which I did not give in to. When I eat my

potato and/or soup, it isn't because I crave it. I look

at as a bi-weekly treat and if I ever don't feel

like eating it, I won't. I don't really see that as

justifying. I don't think there is anything wrong with

maintaing a 98-99% level for myself. I know I can't

maintain a level lower than 90% or so. I tried that before

and it didn't work. <br><br> & lt; & lt; I sometimes hate

the<br> thought that I will never again taste my favorite

cooked foods, but I<br> know from past experiance with

adictions, that all of this will pass & gt; & gt;<br><br>You and

I see the cooked food addiction a little

differently. As I said earlier, I had some pretty serious

non-food addictions that I would never toy with again

because I know, also from experience, I'd be back into

full force. And again, if eating cooked a couple of

times a month triggers that same response in my diet,

I'll either become a cooked food junkie again or go

100% raw. I can't imaging being a cooked food junkie

again.<br><br> & lt; & lt;If you look at the list of members in this club you

will see that most of<br> them don't post any more.

They just faded away. I realy want you guys<br> to

stay. I want you to make it. I've grown to like

you. & gt; & gt;<br><br>I like you guys too and I enjoy reading/responding

to your posts. I know I'm still in the very early

stages of this lifestyle but I want to make it too. I

want us all to make it.
