The Hidden Risk to Your Food Sobriety Journey

If you’re working hard to overcome food addiction or disordered eating, I want to address something that often flys under the radar but can seriously impact your progress: alcohol.

Drinking alcohol while trying to maintain food sobriety is a slippery slope. It’s not just about the empty calories and lack of nutritional value; alcohol can undermine everything you’re working so hard to achieve.

Here’s why:

• Alcohol weakens your resolve: It lowers your inhibitions and makes it harder to stick to your food goals, especially when cravings hit.

• It can become a replacement for food: For many in recovery, alcohol can shift into the role that food used to play—a coping mechanism or an escape.

• It interferes with your recovery: Alcohol affects your physical and mental healing, making it harder for your brain and body to fully recover from the grip of food addiction. Not to mention, if fat loss is your goal, it interrupts the fat burning process.

I strongly encourage you to consider leaving alcohol out of your food sobriety plan. Sobriety isn’t just about food—it’s about freeing yourself from anything that could compromise your recovery and hold you back from the life you truly deserve.

Your journey to food freedom is too important to risk. Every decision you make now is building the foundation for a healthier, happier future.
