For me, it's a feeling of extreme irritability, agitation, weakness, slight headache and possibly other symptoms. But mostly I get the "hangry" syndrome... hungry + angry... then when I eat, a small crash. But if I focus on eating whole foods and less junk, less sugar, and no more than 3 cups of coffee per day... I'm good to go.

I've found I've been drinking lots more coffee and experimenting with different flavors. Better than the alternative!

Oh heavens...that sweet thing is pretty universal. I ate an entire can of cake frosting in two days once and then there would be the nights I laid in bed with a pint of Haagen daz ice cream. It leveled off. Now I'm back to normal. Or whatever normal means.

I just tried to pay attention to my feelings at the time. If it felt to me I was replacing alcohol with something with food to change how I felt, I would have seeked out some counseling. If I just was jonesing sugar as my body adapted to the constant wine to sugar conversion it was used to..so be it. I'd adjust. I was the second one. Just adjusting. It sure was fun at the time. I'm back to a treat once in awhile. Now just a piece of fruit will do it.

Great job on 16 days RBY! Find a dietician to talk to if you need to. Nothing wrong with research and gathering some information while you make not drinking top priority. Keep positive!
