I have read alot of people saying that once you stabilize/normalize, your appetite will come back 10-fold and you will get all these cravings. I personally am the weird one and haven't craved sweets like most others I have read, but I randomly began to crave coffee after not drinking it for a year and a half. I find myself drinking alot more too. It's like the body is trying to find its homeostasis sans alcohol, whatever that means for your body.

Keep up with the vitamins...I'm taking a multivitamin too to try to get as many good things in my system that I might not otherwise get by what I am consuming.
Coffee ,, i hear you ,, I love it. I call it my drug of choice,so much ,better than alcohol.
