Yes, but not in the beginning of my sobriaty. In the first months of my being sober I eat a lot of sugar rich food like chocolate and stuff. It helped me staying sober. I guess the sugar calories replaces the alcohol calories my body was craving. Now I have more sober days and with eating healthier I’m starting to loose weight. I’ve lost 4 kilo and I’m on my target weight now

I’m nearly nine months in and have lost about 8 kilos (nearly nothing for the first month, then 6 kilos over 3 months and the rest slowly since then).
That represents a loss of about 12 percent of my body weight, so quite a lot. No additional exercise or diet changes (not intentional anyway).
12 days ago I was 190 lbs, today I am 177. I attribute this to both no more alcohol and drinking almost a gallon on water daily.
