Addictive Eaters Anonymous

The Team from Addictive Eaters Anonymous - Hamilton

Life in Addictive Eaters Anonymous provides me with the freedom to have great adventures

Before I came into the fellowship of Addictive Eaters Anonymous, I lived full of fear, resentment, self-pity, shame, and self-obsession. My eating was completely out of control and I could no longer stop eating even though I really wanted to and went to great lengths to try and stop. My world became a small and lonely existence where the only thing I looked forward to was hiding out with my food. There was no room for adventure in my life.

Poll: Have you ever tried learning a language?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hannah Westbury likes to chat with customers at her checkout - so much so that she’s learning sign language for one regular.

Paeroa-based Westbury has worked in Woolworths for the past seven years and moved to checkout a year ago.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
