Hi Jo -- I am almost 5 months sober and I've noticed myself getting obsessed with things such as shopping, and eating, and may be even the pills.

Like Rose says, I'd let her deal with it. I say that because I know how I would react and suspect she would do the same. I would be defensive and irritated. I do sort of feel like me transferring addictions to something harmless like shopping or eating is fine since I'm staying sober. As I type that, I realized how stupid that is. Wow!

I still think you should let her realize it herself and deal with it. Now - like Rose says if it's affecting your finances as well then you should bring that up somehow. I wish you luck. I know you are working hard at your recovery.

Love,
~doll
