Binge eating problem

I've firmly replaced my addictions with eating. Been struggling with sugar and junk food. I've gained weight and feel bad about it. Been trying everything. Firmly sober but cross addictions are a real thing and I'm going through it.

I agree and you're not alone I'm going through it too

Definitely not alone in this. I am two years sober and the food addiction is rough! Doctor might assist you with glp-1 or a prescription to help. Never hurts to ask.

Yup
Cookies and coffee have replaced drinking and smoking
I know it’s better but I’m gonna have to try harder
Still proud to be sober

I go through this too! Best thing I find is to try to have healthy snacks and low or no sugar drinks. Air popped popcorn with a little olive oil and garlic salt or seasoned salt (depending on your blood pressure) is my go-to.

Also I try to set portion limits and cut off times for night time snacking.
Still working on cutting back and losing weight. But I am disabled and unable to exercise so it's tricky.
