Thanks for sharing, @Jennajen and I have to be honest and feel ashamed and guilty that reading amounts and numbers are a trigger for me. I have to work on that.

Did anyone start eating more after they stopped drinking ?

I’m 25 days in and I read people want sugar more in the first few weeks to compensate for the loss of sugar in alcohol … so I didn’t give it a thought as I wanted to stay sober … but now I find myself eating much more.

Is this “normal” and does it subside ?

I don’t know, really. I read it a lot here, though. For me it turns out to be another compensation mechanism so I don’t promote actively here saying, well stick to any junk food you can grab in the first days, weeks, months of sobriety. Yesterday it became quite clear to me that a real physical hunger develops when I need to care for myself and my inner child. And that won’t stop crying just because I feed it with tons of cheese, nuts or chocolate. :pray: Still, I won’t say that it works for many.

Thanks! I have been feeling a lot better overall. I started getting in some exercise as well, but not for weight loss, but instead to feel better mentally. I don’t know if there was an easy part, it was hard work to abstain from binges but so worth it in the end. The difficult part was trying to eat healthier when I was eating a lot of junk. But that got easier over time. :slightly_smiling_face:
