recovery/addiction resources

[razzle]

I've been finding it useful to think about my history of eating disorders as an addiction; delving into some of the recovery literature (and people who are in recovery) has helped me a lot.

For like-minded folks, I thought it might be useful to share some of those resources, from OA to your favorite book to whatever. Please add to the thread as you like!

I've recently found a website I really like--literally thousands of pages of very good information:

That site is terrific!!
Not only does it cover addictions but child issues and more!
Thank you for sharing this site with us! :daizy:

I think Potatoes Not Prozac and The Sugar Addicts REcovery Program are great books for understanding the physical addicion to carbohydrates and putting together a plan, but it does not delve into the mental or spiritual aspects of addiction.

Here are a few more links:

Checked out some of the links. Must say they all contain great information and give good choice of what exactly meets our needs.

Thanks.
Take care.

I like

Anne Katherine's Anatomy of a Food Addiction Doing the work that she assigns carefully would take over a year. Her food approach is very LC.
