Food addiction and enablers

I was married to a wonderful man who became a drug addict. He occasionally relapsed into sobriety. He would go to his meetings, talk to his sponsor and work his program. Invariably, he would figure he had been so good that he deserved to get high on his substance of choice to reward himself for his good behavior. It was only going to be that one time. No one would know. He could get away with it without destroying himself or his family. Except he couldn't.

Food addiction is no different. It's the same set of defeatist behaviors that lead to a downward spiral.

Take what you need and leave the rest. Blessings.
