I've been experiencing similar things. I stopped drinking almost 5 months ago now, and found myself drinking well over 2 liters of Mt. Dew per day. I've also been becoming obsessive with my school work.
Two days ago I decided to stop drinking the Dew. I substitute water, and some coffee to prevent the migraine that came when I stopped the Dew cold turkey before.
I'm still working on not becoming obsessive with school work.
I think that part of the problem is that we don't realize just how much of our lives our addictions have taken over. Just stopping the consuming of that one substance isn't enough. We have built rituals around it, it has consumed a great deal of our time and our lives. We need to find something to fill the voids. I guess that's why A.A. so often recommends 90 in 90. It creates something to fill that void.
Just a thought, and a reminder that I'm still somewhere on this planet. :-)--Dee
