When I first became sober I stuffed myself, making up for all the time that I spent not eating at all-food interfered with the alcohol. At rehab all of the sudden it was three meals a day and snacks-I was very enthusiastic about eating, and that is a good thing. At the end of my drinking I had dangerously low sodium and potassium, and my body craved nutrients. Human bodies are very resilient, but they need proper fuel for optimal healing potential. I don't think anyone should worry about overeating now--staying sober and getting healthy are more important than watching your weight. I have just over four years of sobriety and don't eat nearly as much as I did at first, but I still enjoy good food-I've also been a vegetarian for 30 years. Best wishes everyone on your sober journeys!
