I found that my compulsive eating was a way to deal with my depression. Winter months added to my compulsive eating.

I was never honest when I entered the eating disorder rehab and my meth addiction almost killed me.

I struggled after completing my eating disorder treatment, but I have never given up. I continue to go after my eating disorder recovery with all I have.

Addiction comes in many forms, such as drugs and alcohol, addictions to behaviors, like eating, and more. Individuals turn to things outside of themselves as a way not to think or feel. The temporary relief found in avoiding the pain eventually becomes more complicated and more painful then the initial pain.
