Binge eating will result in drug abuse once again.?

  • Posted on July 28, 2010 at 12:17 am

My daughter is a recovering addict. The VERY nasty and uncontrollable food demon is taking over again. She attends both NA and OA. She has no time to work the OA program due to the fact that the binge eating is already putting weight on her. She is starting to isolate and get less joy from life due to the weight gain. She called me today that she just knows she’ll start using again, if she cannot overcome this need to eat and weight gain. OA does NOT believe in diet drugs, but they’re not drug addicts who just revert to eating when they are abstinent from their drug of choice. She wants to try a prescription diet drug to get her past this bump in the road. She feels that this would carry her long enough to get further into the OA program, see her therapist more, continue with her NA program and generally strengthen her psyche. She’s not a kid…she’s in her mid 30s. Is there someone out there who has a very constructive bit of advice for me? Thanks.
