Most of the women who know me well, know that I have developed a sweet tooth since I stopped using alcohol several years ago. They all want to give me their left over Valentine candy. Most of them are more afraid of the three letter F word than they are of the four letter F word. They all think they will get FAT if they eat the whole box of candy their husband gave them during the annual ritualistic exchange of chocolate for sex.
I am no different than any other red blooded male. My brain is one big mush melon when it comes to sex or just trying to figure out what might increase my chances of even having sex. I think it's always been that way but never once did I think a box of chocolates could or would ease the fear a woman has of the four letter F word. Beside who wants a relationship based on chocolate, the days of Ozziet and Harriet are gone forever. Men always take the shortest and easiest way, expecting to score every time and we get mad when we don't. We figure that if we are slick enough to ease a woman's fear of the four letter F word, well that's fantastic. But if we can't so what, we didn't spend much on the box of chocolates any way!
For Valentines I received a rose, card and a stuffed animal....No chocolate for me !!

I too quit drinking a few years ago. I did it through AA, and will be leaving for a meeting in about 5 minutes. Sweets are a big problem for me also. I used to get my sugar through alcohol now it is through sweets. I quit smoking 20 years ago. I quit drinking 4 years ago. I never HAVE to do either one again but dammit! I have to fight with food at least 3 times every day!!
