I have been in the fellowship of Food Addicts Anonymous for 18 months and what a change in my life. Thought I would share that here. FAA has phone meetings, online meetings and face to face meetings. I will post its website information in the hopes that others will find what I did

And the best to you,too.I do hope you check it out. The holidays are approaching and ever there was a dangerous time, this is it.

I am new to this board and I am reading the sadness from others and years of food addiction which I can identify with. Food no longer has that power over me that it used to. Not that I am complacent. I work a program of recovery each day and those days add up and suddenly life is not that bleak any more.

Food Addicts Anonymous has been around for 20 years and treats this as food addiction. There are certain substances---sugar being one--that no matter how I tried to regulate eventually I would binge on it again. So I don't do sugar in any shape or form anymore. To me it is addictive. It is way, way more than a matter of willpower. I needed a program of recovery and luckily I found FAA 18 months ago.

Safe way to find out is to listen in to one of our phone meetings

An FAA group ought never endorse, finance or lend the FAA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, or prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

Remember this one tradition?

It is my hope that some of you on this page will one day find what I found. I read many posts from people in extraordinary pain here a place I remember so well.

Happy Abstinent Holidays!

Thank you.
I quit smoking with no problems...just threw cigarettes away and that was it.
Why can't I do the same with food? Why can't I just stop eating?
I hate this thing I call life.....

Hi. I just joined DS because of my daughter's recommendation. I was glad to find your post because I was once active in an Overeaters Anonymous group...that disbanded. Talking to people with the same problem seemed to help soI'm gonna check out the site you recommended!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
