It does sound like each of the people mentioned struggles a bit. The nice thing about the 12Step program is, done pretty completely, the struggling goes away, mostly. I like this video which was linked to that other page http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/video/2009/jan/02/change4life-ad-campaign Thanks Mike.

The ingredients/chemicals restaurants put in the food, the amounts they give out, all to try to please the ignorant customer, it's criminal.

I had a daily habit of about 120 oz. of Dr Pepper. This is this first thing in my life I've actually made a decision to change and followed through with it. I'm hoping OA and the program are my next thing to succeed at! :) I’ve now gone over a month without caffeine (for the most part). I had a daily habit of about 120 oz. of Dr Pepper.

We have a brush-up rehearsal this evening and three performances this weekend before the blow-out party Sunday evening, at which, I will have my own food and a large supply of fresh fruit for everyone else. The rest of the food is fish food. Fine for fish, but not mine. Thanks Ammy.

I am lesbian, and have a gay male sponsee...and we discuss this "discovery" often. Gay women teach "love yourself, no matter what you look like" so I use to walk around like I was proud of my extra 100+lbs, but inside I was miserable and could not find support in my peers to work on my food addiction. My gay male sponsee said it's exactly the opposite in his world. That if you have an extra pound, or even APPEAR to have an extra pound on you, you are stigmatized and shunned. Because he is addicted to food, he has constant outer AND INNER voices filling his head. And it sure is hard (not impossible, but hard) to recover when you can't hear your Higher Power because of all the other voices. Yes, I agree with this quote 100% Congrats on the play, and break a leg!!! No surprise to me!
