I highly recommend you speak with a doctor, a therapist, and a nutritionist. All three. There is a lot of overlap between alcohol addiction and eating disorders — but in many ways, food-related issues are harder to treat long term because you
can’t abstain from food. This is why a triad of professionals can help:
- Doctor: Assess and get a baseline for health/wellness.
- Nutritionist: Develop a structured diet plan custom-tailored to you.
- Therapist: Will help you process through the plan, get ahead of cravings, and get to the root of the disordered eating,
Also i know that externalization (identifying addiction voice) is used in some treatment programs, and it’s very similar to rational recovery. It can be very effective. This is from being very close to someone who struggles with food issues. Good luck and remember to have grace for yourself and to take it one day at a time.
