Hi Layla, congratulations, that is wonderful!

Yeh, when I first got sober I ate a lot of sugar. (alcohol is made of sugar so my body still wanted it). I gained a bit of weight, but it was a trade off for me. I have to put my sobriety first.

The sugar craving left around 14 months of sobriety or so for me. Other people I've met have also experienced this, but it's no big deal.

It was a trade-off for me, I'd rather have a few extra pounds than to go back to that dark, horrible place before sobriety. COngratulations on 1 year, this is phenomenal! As Madisgram mentioned, unfortunately many people do not accomplish this. One day at a time. be gentle with yourself. Grats again!
