I've been sober for almost three months. But now I'm a junkie!
An ice cream junkie, that is. I need to have a mug full of ice cream every evening before bed. The way I figure it is, it's a lot less harmful to me and my relationship with my wife and family.

Sounds like you've got it under control. 
And congratulations on your upcoming three month anniversary!!!
Congrats on your sobriety!
Give me a hot bath every night for a week and I need one the next night too. I have been absolutely jonesing on a need for a bath. I had a surgery and I can only take showers for 3 months and I am in agony!
It's good that you can see your addictive self! Go you! 
When you give up alcohol, it's common to crave sweets. It's rough in the beginning. I remember my doctor asking me how I was doing with the alcohol and I told him I was no longer drinking, but I was addicted to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. That gets better, too.
A lot more than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, LOL. I also remember comparing notes with someone else new to recovery and we both kept track of the "flavors of the week" at the local ice cream/convenience store chain. You've done much better than I did - I went from barely eating and being seriously underweight to gaining quite a bit, no big surprise. These days I try to eat more fruit instead, too. Good luck and good for you!
Now I am addicted to baklava!
Congratulations on your three months, bif!
Each day is a miracle.
seriously good!
It's calcium and protein. Just don't go overboard.

Your body is craving sugar. Just be careful. You don't want diabetes. That's what I was told almost 18 years ago when I got sober, (12/07/2000). It was hot chocolate and candy bars for me. Who am I kidding, it was everything sweet!
Honestly I thought smoking and drinking coffee was a prerequisite for AA. They used to have a "some are sicker then others," room, yeah the smoking room. That's where I learned the best response about stopping, "My higher power will remove my vices in the order to which they will kill me." Still sober. No more smoking rooms these days, state law. Which is fine, I always prefer smoking outside anyway.
