Addictive Eaters Anonymous

The Team from Addictive Eaters Anonymous - Christchurch

Finding the answer
I have lived in New Zealand for the last twelve years, after being born and raised in Somerset, England. My parents ran a playgroup in our house for much of my childhood and I made close friends there, but I still felt isolated and different to everyone else.
I always loved food. We were able to help ourselves from the cupboards at home when I was young, with no restrictions. I believe a normal eater would just eat until they were full, but I could not stop. I put extra food in Mum's shopping basket and would gorge on leftovers at night with my friends. My friend’s dad owned a pub and when the half-eaten plates came back, I would pick chips off them, chatting as I did so, to my friends' astonished faces.

Marie from Phillipstown

Sad to see that at this time of the year, some people are spoiling it for others.
This lovely lady paints the most beautiful art on stones, and glues them onto her fence for all to enjoy.
Now she will be stopping, people are stealing her gift to the Community, despite the fact we can all take as many photos as we want.
She has had a tough year dealing with her Mum being in hospital too.
The lovely Fairy of Cashel Street deserves better πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ’œ
