Bourbon and chocolate was one of my favourite flavour combinations. But bourbon, sour dried cherries and chocolate? Gives me the shivers...

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that food addiction can be as serious as any other addiction.

It just appears to be a slower, "gentler" process. Anorexia and severe overeating are two sides to the same coin. You may not wake up in Saskatchewan surrounded by new friends, but you may wake up in the hospital with esophageal bleeding from throwing up. You may end up not having any friends because it's more important to stay at home in the dark surrounded by your favourite binge foods. Food becomes more important to you than anything else in your life. You would and do lie, cheat and steal for it.

Now that's an addiction!
