Eating and sleeping more

Since getting sober, I'm feeling all my emotions, but I don't know where to put them. I tend to eat until I'm full, then sleep until I feel empty again, and then eat some more to avoid facing my feelings. I really need to do better. Rather than wrapping myself in a ball of distractions, I need to establish a better schedule and be more consistent.

I don't want to relapse, but I also don't want to keep going down this path because the weight I'm gaining is really depressing. I need to pick myself up, practice better self-discipline, work out, and stick to a better routine. I can't let my lack of motivation defeat me, even though I'm feeling pretty defeated right now. It's frustrating. :woman_facepalming:t6::sob:

Tiffany, your dilemma is normal. In my early sobriety I ate way too much sugar and then it was working out for 3 hours a day, I was escaping from my rollercoaster emotions. My addiction is alive and well.
Doing the 12 steps really helped me balance out. I still trip with sugar, pizza and cheese burgers once in awhile.
Are you doing the 12 steps?
