Quit drinking and you will crave sugar like crazy. When I was in the navy, I’d start craving sugar about a day and a half after getting underway. Then we’d pull in somewhere, I’d get hella drunk and not crave sugar, go underway, rinse/repeat.
You only have control of your second thought and first action.
