I've been drinking loads of water. I bought sparkling water and also low sodium club soda. I pour the water into one of my lovely big wine glasses and then add a squeeze of fresh lime. It's quite refreshing and I like the bubbles - adds an extra zip to the water. Of course, I'm peeing a great deal but that helps to get rid of the excess bloat.

Another thing to help with the sugar cravings is to eat chocolate. Not chocolate bars, but, pure chocolate. I eat a couple of 90 percent cocoa squares and it really helps with the cravings, plus it is packed with antioxidants and is not high in fat or calories. I think 3 squares is about 170 cals. It also helps satisfy hunger cravings.

I am 2.5 weeks into sobriety and it appears I've lost about 5 pounds. Not sure because my scale broke (no, it wasn't because of me stepping on it). So, I had to buy a new scale and I am not sure about the calibration on it.

I do notice that my cravings are the most severe at night when I am about to sleep.
