So my beautiful people 
is it just me or it seems I turn to food it seems a little too much lately. It’s like a pattern 3am wake up make a meal and eat wake up before still eat eat eat eat. It’s that normal getting sober? I guess it’s better eat breakfast burrito then drinking a bottle or chasing the sac. Sometimes I get scared because it’s happen before I get out of program of course way over weight so what’s the fast way to drop it:neutral_face: ya the glass pipe. 15 days y’all 
I’m enjoying this pink cloud if it keeps me sober I’ll stay on this cloud whenever:+1: Have AA blessed day

I love that meme. Yoda is a wise one.
It’s very common to crave sweets in recovery. There’s lots of good advice here (search “appetite” or “sweets” or other similar terms related to eating & you’ll find some).
There’s actually a whole thread of people sharing about weight management strategies here:
You’re right that gaining a few pounds is way better than using. Be gentle with yourself and take it one day at a time. Also - remember that you’re building a relationship with yourself, with your full self. You are worthy and beautiful and deserving of respect and healthy attention, no matter your weight.

It’s normal to have those munchies. Maybe try indulging with healthier choices? When I want cake, pie or cookies, I choose a whole grain blueberry muffin instead. If I’m craving ice cream or a shake, I choose a low-sugar yogurt smoothie instead. I’ve actually lost 5 pounds since getting sober.

My go-to is grapes as I seem to wake at 12:04 many days just out of the blue? And I’ve got a few days sober. Anyway, I sit in the dark for 5 or so minutes and eat about 20 real slowly, then back to bed. My sweetie and I eat plain popcorn for snacking in the evenings when the munchies come calling.

Haha I’m going through that too with food. And honestly I’m abit scared of it 
when I quit meth years an years ago I gained almost 100lbs in a year of sobriety due to switching addictions. I didn’t know at the time that that was what I was doing. Filling that void with something else. Took a long of hard work to lose that weight. And Now years later being on Day 1 for a diff DOC I am catching myself turning to food, eating when I’m not hungry, eating when bored, eating due to feelings, over eating, eating at weird hours, eating unhealthy foods… ugh. I mean realistically, I’m clean so when you look at the big picture, that’s my main focus. And it’s completely natural to eat more. So many people I know who enter recovery have turned to food more. My goal this time around tho is to find balance and focus on health so I don’t gain weight. But ur definitely not alone. And by the way… a huge congratulations to you on 15 days! Amazing work
