this article is interesting to me, I just read it. Thanks for sharing it.
I know that the fact that I cannot stop eating once I start, and that I cannot stop drinking once I start, have always been the same drive. I've always acknowledged both a food addiction and an alcohol addiction. This is interesting and I do wonder how I would respond if blocking my ghrelin production were even possible.
I have accepted the trade-off of overweight with sobriety, I haven't ever been able to be normal weight without alcohol consumption.
Also with enough eating, I can drink moderately. I just never chose that because it made me fat and blunted my alcohol high.
