Addictive Eaters Anonymous

The Team from Addictive Eaters Anonymous - Hamilton

A newcomer’s journey: Finding freedom from the food in Addictive Eaters Anonymous
I discovered I was an addict to food.
Before joining Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA), I never really understood what addiction was. I thought only "bad" people had addictions. It turns out addiction isn’t limited to alcohol and drugs; it also includes food. Addiction is an illness that does not discriminate, and being an addictive eater has nothing to do with being good or bad.
My life, as an addictive eater, was a struggle.
