Oh, I keep bumping up against all my food issues in recovery. This piece was so helpful. Thank you, Caroline.

I am trying to not pass "this" down to my daughter (10 years old) though I see her noticing. Noticing whether I eat "too much" dessert or pass on it altogether. I see her watching me watch myself in the mirror as I pass by. How does my reflection look.

We are hungry - yes. Figuring out what we are hungry for is the work.

Thank you so much for sharing. I feel your comment so deeply and am very committed to not passing down food issues to my children, too. Such an important part of recovery that I think gets glossed over. All of a sudden we subtract our "substance of choice" and then all of the really tough stuff emerges... The good news is that we are in this together!

Thanks you. It’s challenging to put it all out there but with deep honesty can come healing and hope for others (this is what I’m learning in the rooms of recovery)
