hey everyone...im doing GREAT...ive had 90 days sober yesterday since my relapse. and although its been a rollor coaster ride...i feel im doin pretty good...i just have a few concerns...1) whats the deal with my obsession with food? I mean thank God im not the 90 pound skeleton i used to be but, now i can eat a whole large pepperoni pizza feel fine...i try to not eat such big meals so often during the day but its like food calls me...then at night i crave choclate and often wake up hungry for it....cant go back to sleep unless i have a peice of choclate or something...is that weird? im not sure if this is part of the recovery process or not? i just wanted to know if anyone had any knowledge on what the deal was with that...im starting to get a little uncomftorable with where my weight will get...another concern is that every so often i get this feeling of ultimate fear at night....ill wake up around 2 or 3 in the morning and feel just terrified...i dont know of what or why so i try to convince myseelf to go back to sleep...i dont know if thats a normal thing of recovery either so if anyone knows anything of either one id appreciate some feedback please...thanks
