Finished Cravings - meh. I think you have to be a fan to enjoy it. She focused more on the drinking than the food - but does say they are related. But one good thing about the book for people new to food addictions is that she brings home how common it is.

The message of "you're not alone" is VERY important. That surprised me when I started OA. I had, of course, heard of anorexia as an eating disorder, but not binging. Cherry Boone's book was - if memory serves - better at explaining eating disorders. But I still thought binging was a problem with self-control & that eating disorders involved starving & throwing up.
