I have always loved food and have always maintained a healthy weight. Always had the attitude "eat what I want, but eat in moderation" well since becoming sober off a serious benzo addiction, the addict in me has shift towards food especially this past year. I have put on over 40 pounds. I will eat and eat and eat till I fall asleep and then find myself waking up in the middle of the night thinking about food and going for more. I have just recently realized this is an addiction. Sometimes ill eat so much I feel so sick, but will still eat more. It will be anything to healthy food to carbs, sugars....anything that's there.

I used to be a slim 5 ft even in shape girl and now the weight is really packing on and I have no desire really to stop but I'm def worried about becoming unhealthy. Cause I see this happening with the rate I'm going. There really isn't a trigger (that I haven't found yet atleast) that causes this. I think about food nonstop. And eat around the clock.

I'm always curious as to what causes addictions to shift.
