I was anorexic when I was drinking my normal. When I quit alcohol, i started eating very small amounts of food. Then my health came back to normal, and yeah, i was starving. And ate too much. I deprived my body drinking. My body and mind was a mess from all of it. Ive noticed U have to have a length of sobriety and then normal eating will come with that. The alcohol messed me up so bad. One time I kept track drinking heavily, Id eat only one time in 7 days. Another time I was on a binge, I know nobody will believe this is possible...but I didnt eat for an entire month. Id eat one cracker in a weeks time and just pound beer for food along with whiskey. Today I am always hungry! Alcohol really messes with my stomach and appetite. I also now suffer today, from hurting my stomach with the long binges and no food.
