And this is how I knew when to stop eating is when I passed out and I would literally eat till I passed out.Literally, I thought of the food as like a hammer that I was using to my consciousness.
Picture this: a young boy sleepwalking to the refrigerator, stuffing lunch meat into his pockets. That boy was Jim, and his relationship with food has always been complicated. As an obese child, Jim faced shyness and isolation, often finding solace in eating. His story, shared on Steppin' Out Radio, is a raw and honest look at how food addiction can shape a life.
Jim recalls how his entire family used food as their drug, creating a cycle of dependency that followed him into adulthood. But Jim's journey doesn't end in despair. Through 12-step programs and the guidance of a dedicated sponsor, he found a path to recovery. Jim's story highlights the importance of recognizing how addiction fuels self-pity and impacts relationships.
If you're grappling with food addiction or know someone who is, Jim's experience offers a beacon of hope and a roadmap to a healthier life.
