Weāre all different but from what Iāve seen people tend to eat more when they get sober. Usually we had bad food intake while usingā¦ maybe your relationship with food is adjusting to that change (getting sober)?
Apart from that, give yourself time. Iām 3 years alcohol free and I had different phases where I took weight and other I lost some. For me, focusing on healthy habits helped me (instead of focusing on restraints). Like moving everyday, managing stress, looking for purpose and eating natural food. Being sober is a good step into a better health

It depends! I got sober from alcohol. Alcohol has a lot of sugar (especially beer) and almost immediately I began to crave sweets, especially ice cream. Those cravings have toned down a bit but I have a much bigger sweet tooth than I ever did when I was usingā¦

Hello 
I was struggling not a long time ago, as you can see in couple of my previous posts. I was in what felt like a never ending cycle of binging later in the evenings before my bed time.
Then I decided to read a book about āCircadian clocksā which Iāve got from my mum long time ago. I read it before but I never finished it and now it called me again. Iām so glad I picked it up and started reading again, because I decided to try out whatās in the book and I didnāt binge since! Itās been now 13 days in row without food after 7pm 
If youāre interested in what circadian clocks is, search it on Google, it should give you an idea. In very simplified words itās about intermediate fasting, but it goes deeper to sleeping habits, etc.
I appreciate that Iām blessed that I can follow this strictly, because of type of job and social life I have.
I donāt know if Iāll be as strict as Iām now with everything I follow and do, but I decided to give it a proper go for 15 days, because thatās for how long Iām filling in data to an app reccomended in the book. After 15 days it should give me some data about my eating habbits, sleep patern, exercise habits, etc.
So that is my update. Feeling great and healing now.

Yeah I just try not to buy ice cream because I have never ever not eaten the whole pint. If I want it I go get a scoop. But when the ice cream shops are closed for winter here itās hard to not pick some up!

Day 415 : No coffee today.
@SillyAndSober One thing I did before for healthier āice creamā was that I would blend frozen bananas and various fruit and/or nut butters with a bit of plant based milk. It comes out good. But the catch is you need a pretty strong blender if you want it thick. A cheap blender will not do it. You can also use a food processor, thatās another way to make it.
