Just wondering what types of food you have craved while sober that you didn't while drinking and vice versa?

I loved cheese my whole life,now I don't care for it as much.
Now being sober,I am craving chocolate which I have hated my whole life!

Anyone else? Just looking for a fun topic to keep my mind off some things today
(Sorry if this topic may be in the wrong place,i'm still a newbie!)

Chocolate and more chocolate the darker the better. Still crave it after 10 years of sobriety. It is my one true vice.....lol

Just food in general! I didnt like to eat when I was drinking. Food was a burden. But since I've been sober, I've been cooking like a mad man. I'm the type of person that can spend 6 hours plus preparing a meal. I love to cook, and I love to present my meals artistically. I did miss that when I was bad into drinking. If my career goals weren't IT related, I would definitely be a chef

But yeah, ALL FOOD I crave again, and I love it! Chef Ryan is back people! :P

Well,this too! haha I would skip meals while drinking,or just generally not enjoy it.Now I can eat,enjoy it,and have a satisfied feeling after I didn't know how much I was missing out on!

I never ate much when I drank. Now, I eat anything in site. Craving mostly bread and sweets. In 15 days, I have gained 9lbs. My digestion isn't working properly so it may not all be fat. I know I have to slow down soon as I am getting a bit uncomfortable. I have always loved dark chocolate and cheese though. Yum!

While I've always enjoyed chocolate, since quitting drinking I absolutely NEED it, lol!

I'm also eating a lot more in general. When I was drinking, I wanted to save calories and stomach space (if that makes sense) for booze...now I'm making up for lost time and eating like a ranch hand I'm lucky that I'm naturally slim *thanks God* but I've gained a couple of pounds so I've just begun an exercise regimen.

sweets, especially in the morning. I don't think I've had eggs for breakfast since I quit.

I know exactly what you mean. I didn't want to eat because it ruined my buzz. Dumb drunk logic.

Salt. I've been craving salty stuff. Weird. I'm not generally a chip person, but suddenly I am. To my good luck, I have found flavored rice cakes. Yay.

I started weight watchers last week and its been killing me not to stuff my face with sweets esp.! I didn't eat much when is was using I was way to busy finding the next fix..

I am eating more too. I am also craving EVERYTHING.... I'm worried I'm going to gain weight. This doesn't help when you have a history of an eating disorder. Not sure what to do.....

Oh, and pickles. I've eaten more Clausen kosher halves in the last month and a half than in my entire life before.
