I used to work 6-2pm and would start drinking around 3:30-4pm. It's weird ... I now get the sugar cravings around the same time everyday! So it's Reese peanut butter cups during the day, then ice cream at night! A whole bag of bubble gum while driving! Was never this bad. Still woof'n it down with 115 days!
Coke Zero and a hershey bar is a small slice of heaven!
I ate ice cream too which was of course chocolate. I think I ate more chocolate bars and ice cream in th last year then I have in the last two decades. Even with all that I lost weight.
I've just started recovery but on the days/evenings I didn't drink I noticed I was seriously craving sugar. Same as a child, it was addicting!
My dad was a big drinker in his day, a functioning alcoholic....and he ended up developing diabetes soon after he quit cold turkey...and never really got the chance to turn to sugar.
