150 days
Just wanted to check in, at 150 days today. I have come on SR every night and read since becoming sober, it has helped a lot, especially when I am feeling down or depressed. I started working a new job at 2 months sober, and it’s so different being a sober employee. I haven’t called in sick, or lied, or hid my shaking hands, or been worried about people finding out about me. It sure makes work a lot easier, and my bank account sure likes sobriety too.
My goal this month is to cut down my sweet intake. I was never a sweet tooth person drinking, but man I am now, and I can see how it is addicting as well. I also would like to find a counselor, my depression seems to come in waves, my anxiety is basically gone, but I’m trying to give myself a year to see how everything settles.
Thank you all for listening. And for everyone’s posts, I don’t comment much, but it’s so helpful to read.

The sweet cravings are due to alcohol breaking down as sugars so when you stop the body wonders where all the sugar went, I had a serious craving the other night and had to run to the store to buy a bag of gummy bears it was so bad! I ate maybe 8-9 of them and that took care of it.
Same thing, never cared for sweets when drinking, never got dessert etc

Congrats on 150 days! Totally understand the sweets obsession. It’s like I can’t have it in the house or I have to devour until it’s all gone. I bought a mini dark chocolate ganache cake for my kids and husband for Valentine’s Day. I demolished what was left of it yesterday. Really gross and I remember thinking at least it was better than downing a few shots before bed. It helped me understand while sober that compulsion of “just can’t get enough.” Oh well... at least I didn’t drink so I’ll call it a win!

Great work, kiki.
I always loved sweets/deserts but was able to control them busy since being sober, I cannot manage them well. Working on it.
Best of luck, and continue what you are doing. You will have many more days to boast about.
