Food Addiction Support Group
An individual suffering from a food addiction disorder frequently experiences episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging, during which they may feel frenzied or out of control. They will eat much more quickly than is normal, and continue to eat even past the point of being uncomfortably full. Binging in this way is generally followed by a period of intense guilt feelings...
My daughter asked me what "sobriety" means when applied to a Food Addiction. Made me think. I define it for me (and I think that's key: it means different things to different people) as freedom from binging and practicing mindful eating...not putting anything in my mouth without making a conscious decision to do so. How do you define it? It's been such a useful thing for me to use the term "sobriety" in my recovery.

I think it is a form of sobriety. When an alcoholic is sober, they are free of the mind altering stimulent. There is a saying that there is no such thing as "junk food." It is either junk or it is food. I have come to realize, that I am addicted to junk. So when you use the phrase "sobriety" in connection to your food plan, I know exactly what you are saying...Grace

I love that: it is either junk or it is food! What a concept! I'm going to try and remember that!
