Congrats to you for getting off booze. I was surprised that they encouraged candy at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings (this was 30 years ago).
Being a sugar addict, I know how hard it is to get off the sweet stuff. I was sorry my friend in AA seemed to be trading in one addiction for another.
Keep up the good work!
