In reply to how about the abuse of food as a substance ?, posted by habbyshabit on September 5, 2003, at 6:00:30
Hi Hab~Great idea!!!! I've gone the OA route.............about a million times! seriously. I tried for so long to start my 'Monday diet', or the 'first of the month diet' but to no avail. Only to come to learn and understand it's not about diets! It's about emotional needs and feelings, self-esteem, and self-image. Do you agree? It's like I know what to do but haven't made an effort~like a little kid~I still want 'my cake and eat it too' ya know? LOL~but, it's no laughing matter all the same.
I think your idea is great:-)
Look forward to starting some discussion.
Take care!
> I've gone the OA route, been abstinent over 6 months and then relapsed. sooo very hard to get abstinent again. without this becomming a diet thread, can we talk about food as an addictive substance and coping stratagies?
