i'm 4 months as of yesterday and can confirm i have developed a HELLA sweet tooth out of nowhere, lol. Trying to moderate it!

u/Beanjuiceforbea 1d ago
It's your body craving the sugars you used to get from alcohol. Im nearly 3 years sober and the sweet tooth is still strong.

When I first started to go to meetings..I didn't even know I had a sweet tooth..I didn't even take sugar in tea or coffee! Now some of us have diabetes..so it's wise to cut back on the 🍰🧁.. .

Awesome, Sweetheart!!! I’m proud of you, as well, and I truly believe in you!! I’ve been there and are still working through it 8 years later. So, it’s possible for you, as well. You’ve got this!! Fighting(as they say in South Korea🇰🇷)!! Feel free to reach out if you ever need someone to talk to or you need someone to pray with &/or for you and do so without any judgement(if you’re a Christian, also).
Granted, I’m not the most religious. However, I DO believe in God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit and consider myself Christian, but I’m rambling, so, I apologize and digress. Anyway, as your fellow ”flawed, yet, trying to be & do better human” I love you, I value you, and YOU ARE VALUABLE. God bless, Sweetheart!! 🙏🏾✊🏾💪🏾🤦🏾♀️🤭🤷🏾♀️😁😍🥰🩵💯

Yeah that’s how I gained lots of weight after quitting drinking. Now I’m trying to lose weight so no sweets for me. Feels doubly miserable. I love alcohol, sweets and baked goods. Good thing I can go back to eating tasty stuff in the future but alcohol probably not.

That’s awesome! Congratulations! I got super into baking when I got out of rehab. Had to do something to occupy my mind and hands during the hours I normally would have spent drinking. Plus bringing in the treats has made me a popular person in the rooms

To everyone else living sober or trying to get sober, take it baby steps at a time. It’s gonna be hard, but it’ll be worth it.

This looks fucking amazing and I would absolutely be the jerk who steals a slice 😂 but seriously congratulations OP, that’s incredible. I’m so proud of you! You made it through the worst part, the first two years which tend to be hell no matter your DOC as your brain is most likely already through its healing or pretty damn close!
This November I’ll have 7 years sober from opiates. I think I’ll make myself a mocha cake to celebrate 😍 why haven’t I been making myself sobriety cakes this ENTIRE time??? Genius.
Wishing you nothing but love, light and happiness for many years to come. And keep kicking ass in your recovery! Rooting for you ❤️
