Bump. Any new friends of Bill out there doing LC?

Hi Diva, good to see ya!

You too, Liddie. We are both still at it!

i am a newish FOB and just starting LC for the 3rd time...so hi!

Hi ManchMom! I've been a FOB since 2/20/92 It works for me!

i've been abstinent since Sept 07 but didnt go to meetings (really get sober!) til March 24 08. It's such a good way to live.

Boy has oa changed! I am 20yrs sober and man I have tried to be free from a Binge eating disorder for 12 yrs now. I tried oa , fa, greysheet, and man I swear I got mentally and emotionally unhealthier with the food.

I am finally thanking God that I am able to see the "exact nature" of my wrongs and how defects and spiritual unrest has caused me to reach for food instead of alcohol and dope.

But you all know active food addiction mirrors emotionally and spiritually the other ones so I feel like I have been using. It has been such a painful emotional process and I have wasted countless dollars trying to cure the symptom of my dis -ease.

My food addiction is way worse than my booze one. But I just keep after it every day. More will be revealed!

Hey Wyo!

Yep, me...Julia..crawlin' back at 196lbs. I am doin g a low carb that keeps carbs under 100 per day. How the heck are ya?

Julia

I never was a food addict until after I got sober in 1992, because alcohol was the only important thing in my life. 10 years sober I was able to quit smoking, and now food has become the main problem, i do well when I follow Atkins, but just like with booze, If I stray, like the GSs birthday cake this weekend, I get out of control cravings, I did food binge this weekend, and now I need to start over and get on track.

It's great to find this thread again...last time I visited was 2006...........still sober, 8 years now, still battling with food..glad to see so many 12 steppers here.

Hello one and all!

I have my meal plan set for the day, staying under 100 carbs and GLAD and Grateful to be back here!

Julia

Sober. But busy crawling (once again) out of the depths of my food addiction.

Thats ok honey... it really is one day at a time and you have inspired me in the past... so.... that being said...let's do this together!!!! Hugs and love...

I've been thinking lately just how blessed that I am to be an alcoholic. In my area we have a lot of small towns, and David and I go regularly to 10 differant meetings, which means that I have 300 close friends, who I know very well and love and care about, and who love and care about me. they love me if I'm big, and when I'm small, and when I speak they listen, because I know how not to drink, one day at a time, I also quit smoking that way. Gluttony is listed in the big book as a charactor defect, and I have it, and I need to constantly work on it, with my HPs help.
