I am 32 years old and recovering from a 6 year addiction to opiates. I have gained several pounds (over 65) since I have been clean for 7 months now. I was told that I would gain weight but I had no idea how bad it would become. I have 2 small children and have no energy to play with them or do much else for that matter. I have become so unhappy with my body that I am depressed and rather than get up and do something about it, I find it easier to put a band aid on a bullet wound and stick more food in my mouth to make the pain temporarily go away. I don't know what to do at this point. My self esteem is no longer present what so ever and I am starting to take my unhapiness with myself out on everyone around me. Hope this site can help. Sincerely, The Impalagirl
