Alcoholism

i just stopped drinking - i have trouble identifying myself as an alcoholic, but let’s say “problem drinker.” as of a couple days ago i’m one month sober.

guys, people at AA meetings warned me about sugar cravings, but they are SO FUCKING REAL. i laughed, but then i realized just how much my sugar intake has gone up this past month. today i brought 2 mini chocolate chip waffles to work for lunch, bought a freaking donut, came home and ate half of my cupcake left over from last night, and then went out for ice cream with my friends and got a sundae. i feel fucking disgusting.

i haven’t been tracking at all this month partially because of sobriety being hard, but also because of travel and publishing my first book, and an extremely complicated and sucky social situation. my month has been fucking chaos, and i know i’ve been overeating, and i had JUST hit a new major low on the scale before i stopped tracking, and i’m afraid to get back on it and look.

an AA friend told me to not even worry about weight gain the first 18 months (!!!) of sobriety unless there were other health conditions. i’m predisposed to diabetes, but i also don’t want to undo all my hard work and go back up!

does anybody have any thoughts? tips on the sugar cravings and sobriety or just tracking/losing/maintaining through complete fucking life chaos? encouragement at all? i’m kind of freaked out.

thanks in advance <3
