I read that over half of recovering drinkers put on weight. It seems counterintuitive, but I think the sugar cravings are real, and also the feeling that theres something missing, so fill it with snacks. My sil quit drinking and ended up way heavier; she is now in OA as well as AA. I guess there needs to be a lot of mental and psychological work. To make sure you dont sub. one addiction for another.

Wow I just did the math, You lost 9 lbs and have not consumed 32,200 calories from alcohol. 32,200 cal /3,500 cal/lb = 9.2 lbs. You are exactly on track! (I wish I could say the same.)
