Thank you for this! It is refreshing to hear frank talk on addiction...

It is your responsibility to seek help if your addictions get uncontrollable.

I am... very addicted to alcohol, but i took control and quit.

The main problem seems to be to not overcompensate with other food.

I (we) FELT powerless, but were not powerless.

I've seen this a couple of times now, and somehow i constantly find myself crying with tears running down my face by the end of this. At 12:04 i'm emotionally run down, and the last stab comes! I know it all, but it just isn't enough for me to know it all, in fact knowing it all, is making my problem all the more horrible. I'm indulging it even though that i know that that is what i'm doing, and i can't help it. And doing It while knowing it, is absolutely fucking horrible!! I HATE it!!
