I think my body craves sweets because the alcohol was full of so much sugar. I find eating sweets (whether fat free or not) curbs my desires. And it doesn't give me the jitters or a stomach ache. I wouldn't listen to those people, I would do what makes you feel comfortable. If curbing your caffeine intake is what's good for you, then go for it. I wouldn't know why other AA members get so weird about doctors. I mean The Big Book was written by a doctor.

Well, actually, sweets and sugar affect me worse than the caffeine--especially if the sweets are bready, like donuts or sweet bread or cake or pie; I guess it's the combo of suger and flour.
