Hi guys,

I'm new to this site, but not new to recovery. I don't have time to go to meetings and I'm struggling A LOT with night eating and binging in secret. It started when I was a kid as did a whole host of other addictions. I've managed to recover from everything BUT food. I lost a lot of weight and I've been able to keep most of it off BUT I still binge and now it's mostly at night in bed right as I'm about to fall asleep. It really screws eerything up because I'm "good" all day and then I double my calorie intake for the day as soon as my head hits the pillow. Of course, it also means that the next day I feel more lethargic and full of shame. I'm pretty sure what I need right now is a "place" to go when the craving to eat hits me. It's often too late to make a phone call and my other friends in recovery don't have this same addiction, too. My binges used to look a lot of different but the reasons for them remain the same. The quantity of food and hours spent binging has been greatly reduced over the years, but it's the action that's still eating me up on the inside (no pun intended). I know all the tricls and CBT stuff. I know how to do things a day at a time. I think what I'm missing is a meeting right around the time I want to eat, and since that's mostly at bed time now I feel like an online community is my best bet. Somewhere I can log on to chat or whatever and get support. Is that here? Is there anyone willing to exchange email addresses or something?

Thanks,

Steph
