Many times I had liquid dinner Friday nights.<br /><br />The food does work itself out, but for a while it is easiest to just focus on not drinking. I know most of us all or nothing thinkers don't like that, but it's true....<br /><br />Take care<br />AnneAinsobrietyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642935819165465190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343954490713854991.post-90869441823893952472017-07-20T10:53:36.350-07:002017-07-20T10:53:36.350-07:00Well, hello, there you are!

If I drank enough to get hungover...like a bottle 1/2+ then I would eat like crap, and too much, the next day so it actually did work both ways for me.HabitDonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185750276731609856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343954490713854991.post-36604408417701901062017-07-20T06:38:10.984-07:002017-07-20T06:38:10.984-07:00It is good to catch up with you.

She drinks and it replaces the need to eat. For me it had the opposite effect. Alcohol made me very very hungry! Anyway, nine months sober now and slowly losing weight.........hope to continue like this. I wish you all the best.

I hate the weight gain that comes with drinking. It's awful. You are doing really well!

I love how you are now counting, 16 out of 20, being rightly proud of what you have achieved rather than an all or nothing approach. <br /><br />Interesting what you say about wine being appetite suppressant, for me it is the opposite; one glass of red and suddenly it is "where's the cheese". Good luck with therapy and hope it isn't too rough a ride.Jim Simmondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18060496947011359289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343954490713854991.post-42332724725430148212017-07-19T20:23:45.624-07:002017-07-19T20:23:45.624-07:00Glad I'm not alone on this one!Glad I'm not alone on this one!HabitDonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185750276731609856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343954490713854991.post-55132434810665317982017-07-19T20:23:32.985-07:002017-07-19T20:23:32.985-07:00I hear you on the sugar!!!I hear you on the sugar!!!HabitDonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185750276731609856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343954490713854991.post-64028453918062643892017-07-19T20:14:10.551-07:002017-07-19T20:14:10.551-07:00Oh gosh my food issues were all wrapped up in/with...Oh gosh my food issues were all wrapped up in/with my drinking too.

I also drank instead of eating, or to greatly reduce my intake, and so food management had to become a (later) part of recovery. I allowed myself tons of sugar for almost an unlimited time, but that resulted in crazy mood swings and extra calories. I am still trying to get a handle on seeing food as nourishment instead of as comfort or as another addiction. And drinking instead of eating GREATLY increases the chances of addiction, I now know. <br /><br />Thanks for the insight, and I'm so glad you are hanging in there! ��Finding a Sober Miraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269753460064037075noreply@blogger.com
