Vitamins and supplements can help and melatonin to help you sleep.
My end goal is not to completely give up alcohol, but to lose some weight and get back to where I can sit down and have a drink or two and catch a buzz.
There is a cardiologist on YouTube who believes sugar/flour/alcohol/drugs all trigger the same processes in the brain. I'll find go find his channel for you.
Dopamine is released, we become addicted to that, whether it alcohol, drugs, gambling, porn, whatever. You have to stop that trigger and allow the brain to "rewire" itself.
It's not BS, and I can tell you if you are an addict to one thing it's incredibly easy to slide into another addiction without realizing it. We become hardwired to get that dopamine charge.
If you're speaking literally, alcohol doesn't convert into sugar............if you're speaking as in a craving for sweets, then that may very well be.I'd take a real hard look at how much dependence you have on alcohol. Take an honest assessment (there are some questions to ask, google it) - most of the folks who are addicted to alcohol (like me) - can't drink one or two drinks, ever. What's the point, lol?
Quitting for me was one day at a time, and I can honestly say I wish I never took up drinking. Looking back, it never improved my life one iota.
And that sugar craving? Alcohol converts right into sugar. I used to replace it with ice cream, but I was young and worked it all off.
As for still craving it? Not a bit. I miss some of the old habits I've quit, but after 31 years sober, I can tell you booze is the last thing I'd pick back up.
Chewing tobacco on the other hand......
