Congrats on your 63 Davina
I definitely substituted lots of sugary snacks instead of alcohol. Cookies and gelato were my new demons. I do miss them now. Anyway. As long I was hitting the pillow sober I just enjoy some of those sweet treats. I waited a year and a half before I started that no sugar thread. I felt bad physically and mentally snacking a lot on sugary delights. But I felt so much better being sober. There are probably more threads about substituting sugar if you search up above.
Here the thread I started. Others have joined and come and go. You might get some ideas. Like I use those sugar free Russel Stovers chocolates sometimes.
But again. I felt my sobriety came first. It took awhile to stop rewarding myself with sugary treats.
