30 days

Phew......I Never in a million years thought I could make it through two weeks, let alone a month! Other than my ridiculous sugar cravings.....which is crazy because I never even was into sweets.....everything is going amazing. This may sounds weird, but when I look at my children I feel like I'm looking at them with a whole new set of eyes. My relationship with my husband is much better, my house is cleaner than its ever been, and I find myself appreciating the little things in life again. Looking forward to the next milestone!

Good job on 3 days. It just gets better. Sugar cravings are very common. Chocolate ice cream was my new vice. At least I can never get arrested for "driving while fat".

Congrats Seminole.
I did not like sweets for many decades, but when I quit they started tasting good again... I just try to keep myself in check and not over do it.

congrats on your 30 days! That's great.
The sugar cravings are normal. You're not taking in all the alcoholic sugar anymore. They eventually fade once your body gets back to normal. When I was first getting sober, I'd eat a whole angel food cake in one sitting. Figured it was better than downing a few bottles of wine.

Thanks everyone!!! Skinny cow dark chocolate clusters are my new favorite go to. Better than a glass of Pinot!

It/s normal to crave sugar when you stop drinking. Lots of sugar in alcohol. Congratulations.
