Hello everyone... I found sober/recovery looking for something about nar-anon. I recently found out (less than 4 wks ago) that my 22 year old son is an addict. He lives with us. I am trying to deal with that info, but the way I have learned to deal with stress is TO EAT! So needless to say my eating the last 4 weeks has been OUT OF CONTROL!!! So much so that my co-workers have been mentioning my sudden weight gain, someone even asked me if I was pregnant...I am almost 50 years old! My eating while I'm at work and occupied is in control. It is at night that I lose control. There is nothing that I have found that occupies me enough to not eat. The other thing I have to do is stop looking in my son's room to find out what "stuff" he has in there. When I find it... I go right to the food! I went to one OA meeting, I will go to another next week. Any suggestions??? Thanks!
