Hi,

I've been off pot and alcohol for 9 months, and I quit cigarettes in July of 2012. But now I'm a freaking fiend when it comes to sugar and processed carbs. I eat ridiculous amounts of candy, ice cream, cookies, white bread etc. I know that in early sobriety ppl often eat sugar to ease cravings and ease blood sugar problems that were previously treated with the sugar in alcohol.

Has anyone else substituted drugs & drink with an excessive amount of sugar?? I've gained weight and am afraid of getting pre-diabetes. I swear every morning I say I'm not going to indulge and before 10 am I've sucked down something sugary. I've started exercising and making fruit smoothies to try to only consume frutose, but it always seems to end with a cupcake. I thought when I got off the pot I'd get off the munchies but it only seems to be worse

TnT
