I'm with Paris.

Though I'm not addicted to just any old food--I'm addicted to sugar.

Why?

For the same reason most people are addicted to drugs. It makes me feel good. It gives me a high. It's pleasurable. It's addictive.

And it's probably done more damage to me than alcohol and smoking combined.

There are many reasons I probably became a sugar addict--poor childhood, abusive relationships, chemical inbalances... but even after I got my emotions pretty well under control, I continued to self-medicate with sugar.

Stopping has been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
