Going to sugar cravings from alcohol is extremely common and a whole lot healthier, so allow the transition to continue. Do not let your boyfriend feel guilty about consuming more sugar at this point because then the other alternative for him may be going back to alcohol. Most experts recommend 200-400 mcg of GTF chromium, 1500 mg of glutamine and an essential fatty acid supplement like Efamol’s Balance to help decrease these sugar cravings. I have had at least 50 people over the past year write to tell me this combination was the ticket to freedom from sugar. Also, you might check out the book Seven Weeks to Sobriety by Dr. Joan Mathews-Larson. AA meetings may also be beneficial.
