When a person stops drinking, do they also crave sweets more than they usually do? Or more than a non-drinker would? The person I previously mentioned my concern about, my close friend, seems to be craving and eating more sweet snacks than he did before.
Maybe the sweetness of the snacks ignite the "feel good" section of the brain like the alcohol was doing?
He is waiting for call back from alcohol and substance abuse dept of the medical center for an appt. and further counselling, he was referred to it by his pdoc, who he sees for his other disorders and still will be.
The referral for counselling will be in adjunct to his usual pdoc appts and meds.
Thanks again for any info.
