I go for raisins!
I lean more on;
- God as I understand Him,
- The audio version of the Big Book,
- The audio version of Joe and Charlie's BIG BOOK study,
- Food
I've always loved sugar. But I guess I've been leaning on a bowl of Tillamook Mudslide ice cream every night. Lol
Early recovery I lived on jolly ranchers
When I first got sober I found I was repetitiously eating toast with peanut butter and then it went to ice. It took a while for me to understand that my body was screaming for nutrients. My go to now, yogurt with flax seeds or heart hemp, love turkey Swiss snacks from Schneider's. Since I got an air fryer mozzy sticks. 
For the first six months all I wanted was sugar, primarily cookies. That eventually went away and now I crave almonds. Very strange for me but better than drinking for sure.
The Big Book does suggest keeping chocolate on hand. It is around page 180-ish so that was how I justified the cookies
