what worked for me was the I am Sober app. I pride myself on tracking numbers being good, i like to visually see that proof of improvement and be able to show off to my friend how good im doing. that's just my nature so it worked for me, it might not work for you if you aren't wired the same way

Correct me if I’m wrong but it sounds like anxiety is the main source of the binging. I’m not gonna pretend to know what causes you the anxiety but if you can find something that reduces the anxiety then that could in turn help with the binging.

Therapy is def a good first step. I’m sorry that you’re experiencing this and ik that dealing with anxiety for the first time can be difficult, but hopefully you and your therapist can find some healthier coping mechanisms 🫶
