Hi, River. I've been sober for 9 days now and just last night I started having sugar cravings. Ran to the store for rocky road ice cream and caffeine-free soda. I wanted to buy chocolate, but since tonight is Halloween, it didn't really make any sense. 
Welcome to SR and congratulations on 14 days sober. That is a HUGE accomplishment!
(I just realized that the spelling of 'caffeine' does not follow the i-e rule...)

River,
Welcome!
you bet ya!, your body misses the sugers produced by alchol, or something like that, I am no expert.
But I LOVE my ice cream!, i figure better that than booze.
C-ya around the boards, This is a great place for motivation, clean 9 days now.

Congrats on your time, River, and welcome. I'm Joe - alcoholic and a big fan of sugar these days myself. I understand that's pretty normal, as you've already heard. Certainly consistent with my experience.

Hi River....welcome to SoberRecovery, so happy you found us.
Oh the sweet cravings.... I'm thinking right about now, if I see another one of those little halloween chocolate bars I will gag, LOL....yeah that's how many of them I've shoved in my face....so you're not alone on this. I even had to buy some extra yesterday in fear I wouldn't have enough for the kids......good thing I did.
It will pass in time river...think about what a huge change your body is going through....yowza eh?
Take care of yourself, I hear drinking lots of water is good for us.....off I go to get a large glass of it.
