Avin's Path to Recovery: Overcoming Food Addiction with OA's Second Step

My insanity has to do with how I used food for comfort, my obsessive thoughts over eating it or not eating it, the concept that I would tack on extra time at the gym and then returning to the food even after I intended to be done with it.
