When I stopped drinking which seems like eons ago, guess what happened? I turned into an out-and-out sugar junkie. I even remember commenting that I had developed a taste for sweets that had left me while I was drinking. Both over stimulate the same chemicals in the brain.

Now I'm a recovering sugar addict who has no interest in drinking, but still have a morbid interest in sweets. This too shall pass.

An interesting read is Potatoes not Prozac by Kathleen Desmaisons. She goes into the alcohol-sugar connection and has a dietary plan to aid in the process of recovery.
