Hey Jasper,

Well done for not drinking. Try to make sure you're getting some healthy (real) food, and not just treat food. Like others say, if this is what you need to get you through the first stages, so be it, but as you know, it isn't much of a long term solution if you want to be able to get out of the front door in another few years lol.

Have you thought about a recovery plan yet? It's when we work on our recovery that we can learn to actually deal with those feelings through our inner resources, rather than reaching for external stuff for quick relief. Many people end up just addiction switching between all sorts of instant gratification: alcohol, drugs (prescription as well as illegal), sex, porn, gambling, excessive exercise ie so it becomes physically damaging, food, adrenaline from acting out in dangerous ways.

If you haven't had a chance to consider making a plan as yet, a good place to start is Dee's thread. Their are loads of useful links on there... http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...y-plans-1.html
