 |  i have a serious problem and this is my cry for help
i am addicted to fireballs. i cannot stop eating them. i know this is totally wacky but i just CANT stop eating them. i dont dump off them because i spread them out throughout the day. i eat about 8-10 per day. if i dont have them i will go out no matter what time of night to get them. i have tried leaving them at home while i am out during the day, but i just wind up buying more. i even scouted out alternative places to purchase them in case my "primary supplier" is out. i feel like a crack head. i wasnt even this bad about cigarettes when i was a smoker. why am i so attached to these darn things?? whats a girl to do? i know this is not good. eventually, i will rot a hole in pouch or my throat or mouth or something because they are so hot. but i just cant stop eating them! HELP!

I wish I could help.....but I am sure you have tried things like drinking water instead, yada yada yada. There is no Atomic Fireballs anonymous that I know of- but in all seriousness, do you want to stop eating them? Can you quit cold turkey and not buy any at all and see what happens. Or cut back to like 3 a day??

Dont know what to say. hmmmmmm this must be your trasnfer addiction that has kicked in maybe? I wonder what Doc's thought on this is? Can it really be that bad for you??? I cant imagine there is alot in each of those fireballs. There are worse things you could be addicted to, like you said from a long time ago it was smoking. Good luck.

wow that is a problem. Those things are so hot. Have you tried replacing them with something else that isnt so hot? I wonder what doc will have to say about this one. You have done such a great job and you look so good now please don't do anything to hurt your pouch... (((hugs))) dixie

the true test of OCD is....WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DON"T EAT THEM? can you function? Is it something you HAVE to do, or will you have a meltdown if you don't?
Doc?

Ashley has a good point, maybe you just need to put something in your mouth? Have you tried a baby carrot or a piece of celery instead?
Other than the heat of the fireballs, what is the carb count? Is it that bad? I don't know if the "spice" that makes them so hot is dangerous to our pouches or not. I would guess not, because they are meant to be eaten, but then, we are special cases.
Good luck!

i wasnt too concerned about the sugar or the carbs. i think last time i checked it wasnt bad considering a serving is 4 or 5 balls. its that its hot that has be a bit concerned. but since surger i LOVE spicey stuff. had a stunt with a possible ulcer a few months back prior to the spicey addiction, but havent had recurrance since...i dont know. its like im testing the waters....
if i dont have one i feel like i HAVE to go out and get them. no matter where i am. it's worse than being a smoker. its more like...CRACK.
