withdrawal

[woozy]

Is it normal to crave sweets after stopping drinking, oh and having mild panic attacks?

oh yes it is!there is a lot of refined sugar in alcohol.....allegedly leaves residue behind in body which seem to ask to be replenished after the drink is gone!i still love my sweets,not as bad as when first sober.....but YES!panic attacks?was there a history of this b4 u picked up ur first drink?used the alcohol as self-medicating thing?
