Corri,
I had an 'ah-ha' moment here, some years ago, when I recognized the connection between low blood-sugar and alcoholism. I had craved sugar all my life. Since I never had a weight problem, I didn't really give it much thought. I was in my mid-forties when I began to drink, and it was only after I began recovery that I recognized the sugar issue put me in great jeopardy of becoming an alcoholic.
I also have made the shift in my diet and I now eat frequent small meals. I never go anywhere without some kind of food with me.
