My husband is at his AA meeting. I didn't think he was a alcoholic. He drank whenever he was home and seldom to excess. One or two beers a night. But unless he was giving it up for Lent or for the year fast, he has always drunk. He went with a friend who is definitely an alcoholic and he was so affected by the meeting he has continued to go, (the friend has not) and he has stated he is an alcoholic.
He's gone through a few weeks of being angry and fearful about not ever drinking again. But now he's resigned and I think content at least outwardly.
I am a food aholic. I do not know how to recover; to get well. Diets are not get well programs. I do not know what is good and what is not. I don't feel I can believe anyone. Each year the good food changes. I guess I need to go with the food that never changes. And does that mean never eating dessert or Mackie D's? does that include home made french fries but not freezer fries? I just really don't know. I guess i have to really sit down and make up the rules for good. No dessert? Not even on birthdays? and special occasions? No white bread? how do I eat out? do I protect myself at home and avoid fast food restaurants but allow the occasional "special circumstances"?
What does this mean for Chinese food I make at home? It has sugar in it. Is that okay? I don't make it every week but I do make it a couple times per month. I can eat brown rice with it.
I'll continue this later. i'm doing research right now.
