Cravings....for sweets!
 

Hi all, as some of you know, I just reached the 6 month mark of sobriety. And while I do have the occasional craving for vino, the thorn in my side right now is my unrelenting quest for chocolate, ice cream, etc. I lost a bunch of weight when I first became sober, but it's creeping back on thanks to my sugar demons! I had a sweet tooth as a kid, but I can't remember it being this compelling. I know it's pretty typical to want sugar after you stop drinking, but does it go away? When? Made the mistake of baking chocolate chip cookies "for the kids" and I ate half of them!:a043:

Oh, I can't help you. I still have that sugar craving.

Congrats on 6 months!

I combat my sugar cravings with lots of fruit. Seems to work for me. :lmao

Congratulations on six months!! I am on the sweets binge too! And this coming from someone that has never been overly fond of them (I've always been a potato chip, crackers n cheese, salty snack girl) Well heck, not drinking makes me want to eat all of the above! and DRINK POP which was typically maybe one or two a week and not a whole can or bottle. (Now I'm up to 3 or more a day) I agree that fruit can help, I eat bananas every day and lots of apples (Michigan, so nothings in season yet) Good luck :)

for me it balanced out yes

Im the same, just cant seem to kick the sugar craving! Ho hum. Maybe we both need more sobriety under our belts before it fades? (Im 5 months btw)
