97 days alcohol free and realizing I am using food in the very same manner I used to use wine. Its a real eye opener and as we HAVE to eat its going to be tough dealing with. Anyone else have similar experience?
The sugar cravings hit me hard when I got sober. Like anything I had to really be on my guard.

Yes, it’s like literally stuffing my feelings. Much like my sobriety, I have to be mindful of my “anxiety”, and not allow my mind go on auto pilot while I stuff my face. As much as it can be a problem, having this awareness is the beginning to understanding how our minds work and why we drink.

Thank you 
I would say to give yourself some leniency with the sugar at first. It begins to die down after a while. Don't take it as a pass but remember that a little sugar is a big win over drowning in alcohol.
