Addictions aren't just substance abuse. When it comes to food addiction and eating disorders and things like that, the obsession to continue to either deprive yourself of food or overeat a person that is, an overeater is always thinking about their next meal or their following meal or their following following meal, and in between that and how they're eating their feelings and often nurturing their addiction.
