What can I replace my binge eating and alcoholism with?

Binge eating, alcoholism and restrictive eating do not just go away.  You both could benefit from seeking professional help.  There is something driving you to eat, drink and restrict.  Learning how these behaviors serve you can be a begin step to address the real issues.  In addition to medical and psychological support, there are 12 step meetings and free eating support groups.  In seeking treatment, it is helpful to understand if one of your issues is more primary than the other.  For example, the alcoholism could be more problematic; if so, seeking rehabilitation for the alcoholism may be the first step.  Once the alcohol is in check, it is common for the eating disorder to get out of control.  By keeping off the alcohol, solid treatment could be accomplished by addressing the eating disorder symptoms and underlying issues.
