Just to say hello

[nevertoolate]

First thing I want to do when I wake up in the morning is reach out and say hello to this online community and then I think, wait a minute, this is silly, this is not a facebook page, a social chat room, but then I think, these are the ONLY people I've ever talked to who understand about the compulsive eating, who I can really be myself with. It's only Day 7 for me but being able to get all this good advice from people who, with their Higher Power's help, are struggling to live a better life, is invaluable. Have never had this before and am so thankful. So good morning, group, and have a great day. : )

CONGRATULATIONS on Day 7, nevertoolate. Good going! Thanks for coming around and staying active with FAA's Online Support. You're right... it is an online community of those of us who have the same addiction/disease. A non-food addict really doesn't understand about uncontrollable cravings for sugary items... they can have one cookie, or even two, and then move on. When I was out there in the food, I never knew from one time to the next how many or how much of a sugary (or floury or "wheat-y") thing I'd have because, as a food addict, I had no control over that.

Keep coming back, and keep sharing, nevertoolate.
