My eating disease, I believe, came before my alcoholism. All my life I have struggled with complusive/binge eating. I have not had a drink for 10 months, and now really need help with my food addiction. I have tried OA many times, which worked for a while, but then I was back on the merry-go-round. Been to Weight Watchers many times over the years and other diet organisations....yes, they were good, great support...but then once again, back on the merry-go-round. I know my triggers, loneliness, too lazy to cook, sometimes even being happy makes me binge. I now have a new career, which means I am working some weird shifts. Sometimes writing a food diary has helped or setting a meal plan for 7 days. Right now I think my only option is seeing my doctor and asking if their are any new medications on the market that will help me. But I have to be careful because of other medications I am on. Any advice/support would be very much appreciated.
