This radio programme broadcast this week about food addiction is extremely interesting and could be relevant to some people here(for various reasons), if you listen to the people speaking many of the behaviours are exactly the same as for alcoholics and other drug addicts. Things like sneaking food, stealing, hiding evidence, taking it back out of the bin. They mention the use of 12 -Step and medication approaches including Naltrexone.
I do know that some alcoholics do have eating issues, and I don't mean because they are drinking too much - I mean comfort eating, especially after quiting booze.
Sorry if people can't access it if they aren't in the UK, and also sorry if I've posted it in the wrong place - I'm going to also stick it in the meds section too. Just wasn't sure where it belonged.
