Riskota

I am 1 week sober today. Naturally my emotions are going crazy and my mind won't stop thinking about anything and everything. My cravings are in and out. Now to top it all off- I just found out that I am pregnant. I am nervous about everything. I am worried about being able to remain sober, the most. I am also worried because I suffer from an eating disorder, Which I am currently in recovery with. But I am afraid that one or the other or even both addictions will surface their ugly faces and all hope will be lost for me and my baby. I know I cant let the Fear control me. And I know what I am supposed to do- but has anybody else found themselves in this situation and felt this way?? What helped you the most??? I need to know I am not alone, please help and share your experience, strength, and hope with me.

Welcome to the Forum!!

You are not alone. It's obvious you want to do the right thing for your unborn child. Can you speak with your doctor about some support?

Forgot to mention, I'm a fellow Buckeye too!

Are you in therapy? If not, find someone who specializes in eating disorders and addiction. You can get better and beat this, for you and your baby. xoxo

I would definitely let my Dr in on your addictions, if you haven;t already - get all the support you can - both you and your baby deserve it

Welcome, and yes, Please talk to your dr. It's good that you're seeking support and your dr could likely put you in touch with a therapist who could help you through this. I'm sure you will do whatever you need to do to take care of your unborn child.
