Im just curious. Is anyone else eating literally twice as much since stopping alcohol?
I went from 165 to 200 to 230 in the few months I was "taking a break" from drinking. I'm stuck now between 200-210.
Yes. I was told that can happen. I’ve tried to stock up on some healthier snacks but sometimes I say f*** it and eat the ice cream. For me, it’s better than the alternative…
Yes.. you’ve got this👏
I think I became Oreos biggest customer after I quit
Haha! Yeah for sure. That’s normal. My addiction didn’t end when I quit drinking. It just went into sugar, working out, business, s€x and even the program. After awhile I balanced out. Becoming aware that my addiction is still alive and well even with 16 years sober, helps me recognize sooner and manage better.
lol! Ice cream and jelly beans are my new demons 
Wicked!
I went through that yes. Are a lot of ice cream. Never had a sweet tooth before, but after I stopped I developed one.
Yes - Now I could eat a tub of ice cream in one sitting to replace the alcohol sugars...
Also, a point to consider for us humans (and maybe any lizard people out there)
There's a neat acronym HALT the BADS that I ask myself when I feel an urge to drink. Am I Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired? Or is it Boredom Anxiety Depression or Stress? 9/10 in early recovery it was hunger for sure - instead of drinking myself into a stupor, I ate to recover!
Yes, Heck Yes:100:
