Hello XXXXXXX

Welcome to healthcaremagic

I understand your concern and read your query.
It's good that you have stopped drinking. Please be determined to follow the same throughout

In the meantime if you have too much sweet cravings you need to cut that too because it might get more fats because of it. Start exercising to lose those extra pounds.

To subside your cravings, you can eat little 1-3 cubes of dark chocolate each day. This will decrease your craving and protect your heart, but remember too much of anything is harmful to your body.

Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask more.
