My body is a temple...

So I took the leap into the unknown and decided to subject my body to a one-month shock treatment. Abstinence from alcohol.  Abstinence from all refined sugar.
Started on 6th January...finished 6th February.  Yesterday that is.
So after one whole month of no drinking and zero sugar intake (apart from the naturally occuring type in fruit and veggies etc), what exactly is the result?
We-e-ell.  Not much really. I suppose I have lost a teensy weensy amount of weight, but not enough to be noticeable.
I suppose I feel a little healthier, but I have a feeling this is just in my head and not in my body.
The main problem is what happens next?

I have to admit to being a little apprehensive about drinking again - even the idea of a glass of wine makes me feel slightly nervous.  And I don't even want to think about what might happen the first time I try to eat something sweet .
Will I have a massive sugar rush or will I be OK?
Will I get drop-down rip-roaring drunk or will I be sick as a dog like a teenager after their first binge?
Whatever happens, I'm not really looking forward to it, so I might just continue holding off for a while.

Maybe this is normal, maybe this is the desired effect...whatever happens, it has been a strange and somewhat challenging month.
