Food Addiction- Very Real, as Many Will Say

I was reading an entry from a food addict's website, Daily Strength.

http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Food_Addiction/forum/7957992-slipping-into-relaps

The entry was called Slipping into Relapse, and you can visit it if you like. The person who was speaking said " I allowed myself a Sprite and piece of cake on my birthday and it's been downhill ever since...and I am out of control with my food."

I could hear her desperation and it brought me back to my desperate days with food. For many people various foods are physically addicting. They set up a craving that many of us can not seem to control, no matter how we try. And is is only through the 12 steps of OA and a higher power that we can get back to center. That and staying on our food plan, away from the foods that affect us.

Other people in the world may laugh, but for many food addicts this phenomenon is very real.

Blessings to the writer of this entry. May you find strength, hope, and tools in getting back to OA.

Please read some of my other writings on other topics. Below is an excerpt from a recent article of mine entitled ON SPIRITUALITY, RELIGION, AND CREATING OUR WORLD.

So let us take a better look at Jesus, since he was our role model as Christians. Jesus said that we, like him, are sons of GOD, and children of GOD. With this in mind, consider that Jesus was not teaching people that HE was special, and made in the image of and likeness God (which he was, of course)... but rather that we ALL are special, and made in the likeness of GOD. Consider that Jesus was saying that there is God in each of us. Now if that is true it follows that if Jesus can perform miracles, walk on water, feed the masses, etc, so can we all.
