I'm not going to drink today because I lost 2 lbs. and I want to lose more! Alcohol sabotages weight loss, and it's not worth it.

I will not have a drink of alcohol today because alcohol is a 'destroyer'....a destroyer of families, of minds, of relationships, of beauty, of feelings, of love, of opportunity, of childrens happiness, of partners happiness, of my body, of my self-respect, of my dignity, of friendships, of spirit, of life itself............................................ ..............the only way alcohol can destroy me is with my assistance, and I REFUSE

Has anyone read 7 weeks to sobriety? I am curious about all these supplements and repairing damage. I am finding that eliminating sugar is helping greatly. I was teaching a class last night and without thinking I got a hot choc from the machine like I have done a 100x. It was so hot I only took a few sips before I went back to teaching. I havent had sugar since I stopped, on day 5. In a few minutes I got the worst craving for alcohol I have had so far. It was a very unreal experience, my muscles tightend up, I could taste it in my mouth and it was like a voice from someone else literally in my head saying you can have just one, over and over. I still had an hour of class so I ignored and just tried to keep lecturing. It finally eased up and on the way home it still lingered but I stopped at the grocery and bought a bag of red cherries. I was fine after some of those. I dont think I would have been with refined sugar?I wanted a soft drink like nuts! I managed a water instead since the sugar aeem to have set it off.
As anyone else experienced this?
I think about AA and all the times they kept saying just have choc. 5 years ago I quit for almost 2 years. The past 3 have been a test in moderation that ended up with at least a pint or more daily unless I was to hungover to get it down. However, during that sober time I dont recall any experience like that with sugar and cravings.
From the book I got some glutamine this morning to curb cravings, I will let you know how it works.
On the bright side I gave a presentation to my dept, including the dean, completely sober. The anxiety was there and normally I would have had a few before. It was very empowering afterwords to realize I did it, just me.
