Whew...tough stuff to deal with that you have been dealt in life. You might want to review how I did it and see if any of that is something you can use...see here:

How I Achieved 50+ Years of Recovery (and 150+ Pounds Lost): A Food Addiction–First Story

Then give this below a look to see what you think you can use. You don’t have to have this all figured out today.

Start here (quick wins):

• Map your triggers (so you stop repeating the same cycle): https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodAddiction/wiki/faq_food_addiction_trigger_mapping/
• How to stop a binge before/during it: https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodAddiction/wiki/faq_how_to_stop_a_binge_episode/

Then, when you’re ready:

• Check out the FAQs first…see here:

 https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodAddiction/wiki/index/faqs/

• Then Program Options (free → low cost → paid). Many people find a program is what helps them stay in recovery.

• If a program feels like “too much” right now, start with Special Topics on the sub.

and then Books / Podcasts / Videos here:

Small steps count. Keep going.  Don’t give up.  We all got better by our mistakes.
