Reading what I posted yesterday is a reality check and humiliating. Part of this disease is feeling sorry for myself, whining "oh, poor me, I'm helpless and hopeless." But I am NOT helpless, I...

Hello old friends:
You all know the story of relapse: after having lost 35 pounds, getting those new jeans, feeling so much better and then one day, stepping back into the cow dung and staying there...

I love the morning phone meetings, love hearing all the same voices and how they are working the program. It is so helpful to know everyday we are not alone with this disease....and that it is never...

[/SIZE]CAN YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC PLEASE? Which foods in these recipes are a problem???????

Good for you for holding out for 4 days, but being surrounded by people stuffing themselves with junk food is an impossible situation for someone going through withdrawal....this time you'll get to...

Most of us can remember when we started to feel sugar was love.....way back in childhood....whatever was going on at the time, it made us feel better, when there was no one to comfort us....and food...

Hey mk924
Take it one tiny step at a time, don't expect perfection, there is no quick cure for addiction......withdrawal from sugar/flour and wheat takes awhile and then you really feel better after...

Hi Leigh, first let me tell you many of us are still trying to get abstinent, and I also have 3 1/2 days like you and am grateful, have tried many times and just keep trying....until I get better at...

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, THE ONE DAY AT A TIME APPROACH IS WHAT IT TAKES!

And eventually, we all realize, that food is not love and is a very sick relationship that always leaves us feeling bad....

WONDERFUL, CONGRATULATIONS, KEEP COMING BACK!

[QUOTE=angieleigh;9789]My name is Andrea and I am so sad tonight. I just indulged in binge food, sugar and wheat this time. I feel so lonely and although it was not a full out binge tonight, it was...

I'm sure there will be many people praying for you, keep up the great work. It's hard and it's a miracle to get off the poison.

Why does sugar feel like love to many of us who are lonely? When did that start? Why do some of us still run to it when we feel left out, rejected or whatever? And how do we get past that? It's just...

Thank you much Tortus...you have much good advice. Minimizing the damage is a good one....today I will work on that.
Walking to a store would be out of the question, it is very far and I am 73 and...

Hi, Victoria...same place....most days stuck in sugar...but not givng up, how about you? Just had my 73rd birthday, thank
God.
I keep thinking (like a FOOL) I can just stop eating the...

I keep getting signed out of FAA and it has taken a long long time to get back in several times and many new passwords. What am I doing wrong? Help.

It does have something to do with loving ourselves enough to do what's good for us.....what's healthy for us....there are many emotional issues involved besides the food addiction....running to the...

Thank you Victoria, I so appreciate your support and wish you the very best also....

Thank you Step 3, but I continue to fool myself over and over. I decided this week that since i keep buying the same crap foods every other day, eat some and then throw it out, that I will just keep...

Day 1 of sugar withdrawal almost over.

Thank you HP

One day at a time, one meal at a time, you are so right in your approach! And being prepared is key....I do remember that. Overthinking it also can work against us, just surrendering and following...

Thank you for the good message, that helped a great deal. I'm praying for the grace to give up the stuff I know I need to give up like Cremora...my one holdout...like I "deserve" to have good...

After almost 9 months "on" and off this program, I'm at rock bottom again, eating so much food my stomach can't hold it and now I'm bulimic again....and desperately wanting to stop and eat like a...
