After all the research I've done and what I've seen in my line of work, sugar is a close second to alcohol. Kind of like marijuana use, pills, or anything else you ingest to try to deal with quitting alcohol, its another cross addiction in my book.
Agree 100% I'm on my 11th day of abstinence from sugar and it's been difficult to give it up. I had headaches and body aches the first few days, plus some mood swings. I've been off the booze for years, but started to realize sugar was becoming a problem for me too. And since I have rheumatoid arthritis, it wasn't helping the inflammation.
