Addiction #1

Food addiction. I am a food addict. I don't know when it happened, possibly I've always had it. I just managed it better when I was young. Now, after everything I tried, I'm still addicted. Now I'm doing a twelve step and seeing a therapist. I cannot do it alone. I used it to sooth myself, make myself happy, and as punishment. And it makes me dislike myself so much...there are times I cannot control the beast. Unlike Alcoholics and Drug Addicts I cannot live without food. I have to learn how to cage the tiger and only let it out when required.
