Sweet tooth

@yolanda371868 You're good.
Here is what the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says..
"One of the many doctors who had the opportunity of reading this book in manuscript form told us that the use of sweets was often helpful, of course depending upon a doctor’s advice. He thought all alcoholics should constantly have chocolate available for its quick energy value at times of fatigue. He added that occasionally in the night a vague craving arose which would be satisfied by candy. Many of us have noticed a tendency to eat sweets and have found this practice beneficial."

I hope this helps.

So natural, I think I ate a bag of Reese's cups a day during one of my recoveries. Try to satisfy that sweet tooth with some natural sugars :heart:

I always have a bag of Nerd Clusters in my bag! My grandchildren love it, also my therapist said that it just kind of gradually goes away maybe after a year that craving I hope so cuz I can get expensive but so can alcohol and all those things are right you can lose weight but you can't grow another liver or another Life
