What’s on my mind at this moment is food. And how I know I’m not hungry but I’m still craving because I’m “depriving “ my body of what it wants. But it still wants things that are not good for it. ( drugs , alcahol , attention from my toxic ex) so I’m learning restraint, self control, and discipline. What a challenge!

It's very hard to abstain from the things that we know are not good for us. But at least you are aware, and not flying blindly through unhealthy behavior. This is a huge accomplishment. You can build from this, one step and one day at a time 
Thanks Lisa. Very true
I have this problem a lot. I replaced alcohol with food (specifically sweets) and it was not a good choice. Now I have to be super conscious of whether I am eating because I am hungry or because I am bored.
Facts! I bored eat. Bored go to the gym. Bored watch movies. Bored of being bored. I bored work. Got two jobs
now that drugs are gone I have all this free time - who knew!
It always super bad in the beginning (not sure how far sober you are) but will get better before you know it. You got this!
