Yeah,

I belong in this group too. I'm a total addict. Mostly I'm just addicted to MORE!

Tomorrow night I will be taking a birthday cake at my 12 step group celebrating 6 continous years of sobriety. No booze and no pills. (Yeah me!)

However, the addict part of me does not die, nor rarely sleeps. In my first year of sobriety I gained 85 pounds! Yes, count them, 85.

I was able to lose them in my third year by joining yet another 12 step group called "Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous." It worked for me at that time, and I am so grateful to my food sponsor for the work she did with me. Like previously mentioned, it is about surrender. complete surrender.

If you would like to talk about this more, let me know. There is a "set of spiritual tools" that I cannot live without.
