What about cravings? The Bible understands them well. It refers to them as temptations. The Bible recognizes that people with years of sobriety often still struggle with huge temptations. Sometimes this is just a normal part of the slow process of change. Sometimes it is simply a consequence of being reminded of something we once loved. But at other times it can be a result of mentally cherishing and nurturing the addiction while physically abstaining from it. Instead of asking God for a desire to hate sin at its roots, some people cling to the pleasant memories associated with their addiction. They remember that they once had a potent escape, whereas now they experience the pain of facing daily problems.

CHOCOLATE FROSTING
Here's another one from "Bach's Lunch"
Combine sugar and flour in a bowl. Melt butter, shortening, water, and
cocoa and bring to a boil. Pour mixture over sugar and flour. Stir well.
Add remaining ingredients, and stir until smooth. Pour into two greased and
floured layer cake pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes. Cool
thoroughly before frosting. This rich, fudgy cake is not for weight
watchers.

the remaining ingredients and stir well. Frost cake while frosting is still
