Its starting again. I woke to open bread bag and globs of raspberry jam on the counter mixed with Butter. I hate sleep eating. I gained 6 pounds this weekend. Starting to think i should lock myself in my room at night

Right there with you. Still regularly slamming peanut butter and agave nectar when half asleep in the middle of the night. Fuckin annoying. Even my trick to put it in the tunk of my car before bed doesnāt work anymore.

It was good for a bit but its been bad the last few weeks. I feel defeated, i eat really good during the day and get my walks in and then it comes undone at night. Last week it was handfuls of rice crispies and mouthfuls of 10% creamer. And a small jar of peanut butter

Itās scary what can happen in sleep

Hope you come to a solution
Maybe a cupboard alarm which has your treats?

This happens to me.
I wake up to bowls next to the bed 
I often wake up in the night craving something sweet. I researched this a bit and I think itās a deficiency in something. I canāt remember. I just stopped buying sweet stuff.

Waking up sweaty with craving for something sweet during the middle of the night indicates that you are having nocturnal hypoglycemia.It means that your blood sugar levels go low during the sleep.12 Aug 2021 Just got this off Google so it must be true 
donāt lock yourself in your room @Button83 it could be dangerous

No sweats just eating high carb things and sugar , i cried A little today because I feel so defeated. Iām also very happy that Iām not drinking. So thatās a major plus but now itās dealing with the extra weight and with the night eating, and with the mental health and with everything else that goes along, oh gosh

But no hangover. You are still doing amazing not drinking that is the main thing. Today Iām going to try and cook dinner and say no to crisps and biscuitsā¦ have to tidy my house 1st thatās actually the hardest. I used to drink a glass of wine 1st to get me in the mood. Sometimes I would clean and drink until 2am. Wake up to a spotless house and straight to the toilet to get sick. Now I just plonk down and donāt want to do a tap. I know when I eat better I have more energyā¦ definitely my next big life change needed. Drink and food always my enemies.

@LadyHatt i had this problem with housework and procrastinating about doing it then not ,I have to keep myself in check ,if Iāve said Iām going to do it I do it by that evening. I found a local radio station I like and listen to that, itās nice feeling connected to my local community and in no time my housework is done. Take it a few jobs at a time if itās really overwhelming you will be proud of yourself for getting it done . āEasy does it but do it ā

This is so important. I know the night eating and the mental health stress are big concerns. I know you can keep the perspective that it is only with sobriety that you will be able to deal with these other challenges. Also you know that being sober brings you joy in a way nothing else does.
How much these other symptoms and issues were masked or suppressed by alcohol will show up as you tackle the challenges. Would you be able to go do a sleep study if you were drinking? Of course not. Could you participate more than the minimum in treating your mental health if you are drinking? Of course, gratitude for sobriety is a great beginning, but you will also need other reserves of strength. And continuing to grow your sobriety is the way to find that strength - and you will be surprised where you find it!
Blessings are showering on your house

Yes drink and food. A life long battle with food. Up and down with the weight. But like you said not drinkingbis the biggest battle. And with sobriety I can beat these other things. One day at a time. š©·š¤

A lot of us on here have our first addiction being food āmy sponsor says to me if all you do today is stay sober today then thatās enoughā donāt let everything in your mind become a rotating washing machine . As itās worrying you just be mindful of it and try and make better choices to snack on .your sober today and thatās enough .Iām assured by people with longer sobriety than me that the rest will come Ps your bodyās craving sugar right now because itās not getting alcohol ,get some fruit

I was thinking about this post today. So far so good. I have eaten too much bread but they were meals, egg on toast, cheese & tomato sandwich, jam on toast and then I said not to a few biscuits and decided to steam some veg & potatoes. I did have to push myself but it feels good cooking. Now to keep out of the cupboards till 9pm when Iāll safe in bed. No desire to drink today. Thatās a 1st so maybe my 3 carb meals helped. Iām officially 3 weeks sober today and Im really enjoying my days now instead of wishing they were nearly over. Wasting my lifeā¦ not today

I literally thought this only happened to me . Drinking a lot of water helps me a lot. Only downside is waking up running to the bathroom twice a night lmao
