For food addicts, we might be a little bit more sensitive than alcoholics, because food works in us like alcohol works in an alcoholic, and if I were to go back to it now, I probably food wouldn’t work.
Picture a young girl sneaking candy from machines, not for the taste, but to calm her nerves. That's Claire's early memory of using sugar as a crutch. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Claire opens up about her lifelong struggle with food addiction. Unlike typical overeating, Claire used sugary and floury foods as a way to manage stress and anxiety.
She recalls how her hands would shake without her sugary fix, likening it to withdrawal symptoms experienced by drug addicts. This isn't just about craving sweets; it's about the deeper psychological hold these foods had on her. Claire's story is both heart-wrenching and hopeful. She discusses the physical and emotional battles she faced, including the societal misunderstandings around food addiction. Claire didn't just eat to feel full; she ate to feel secure, confident, and calm.
Her journey to sobriety wasn't easy, but she found strength through spiritual and mental support. Claire's candid reflections offer a unique perspective on the often-overlooked issue of food addiction. Listeners will gain insight into the complexities of food addiction and the power of recovery. Claire's narrative sheds light on how food can be used as a drug, the challenges of overcoming this type of addiction, and the importance of a supportive community in the recovery process.
Tune in to hear Claire's inspiring story and learn about the emotional toll and triumphs involved in her path to sugary sobriety.
