Sobriety and appetite

So I’m rounding out my 5th sober day. All I want to do is eat now. I’ve put on 3 pounds in the past 5 days. Has anyone else felt like this?! It really feels like I’m trying to fill the alcohol void with food. Why am I like this?!?!🙄😓

Congrats mac!
I've been eating tons of sugar since I stopped drinking, also wondering if I'm substituting vodka for junk food.

Me too! I tried to watch my weight while I was drinking. After I stopped, I was thrilled with all the extra food and calories I could now eat. Unfortunately, I am hungrier than I anticipated. My first 10 days sober I lost about 8 pounds. I've put them all back on again because I've been so hungry.
