Help! I am a addict!

[JohnR7]

I climbed out of bed in the morning groggy from my latest binge. As I put on my jacket and my hand reaches into the pocket, there the evidence of my dastardly deeds begin to emerge: CANDY WAPPERS, evidnece of gobbling SUGAR!

Then as I climb into my truck, more evidence of my wayward state is there for all to see: SODA CANS, rock solid evidence that I was guzzeling COKE and flying high on caffine. In remorse I just hope that I did not talk anyone's ear off. Lord have mercy on me a sinner.

Then the worst of all: FAST FOOD BAGS! OH NO, I have been on a junk food binge, the worst of all! Do I dare look inside the bag? It's to much to bear. Lord rescue me!

Help me brothers and sisters, pray for me that God would deliver me from the grip of this bondage. So He could set me free and I could dine on His goodness all of my life.

Thanks so very much, JohnR7

The most un-talked about sin...

I too have the same problem...

Eating too much! I am now addicted to Sam's Choice Creamy Caramel Cups(Walmart) WARNING!!! Do not buy them! Do not even try them! I have always loved Chocolate. But I am actually at the point where I MUST go to Walmart and get them! And I hate shopping, especially at Walmart! Help!!!

Seriously, John, I feel for you, and have much in common with you. I will pray for you.

Hello, my name is Claire, and I am a food addict!

Admiting you have the problem is the first step...blah,blah,blah...

here is your pennance: every time you eat junk food it costs you a dollar in the offering plate.
1 candy bar=1
1 soda=1$
1 bag of chips=1$
give it to your kids to keep for you. Children make great guards.
When i was having a cussing problem they were allowed to hit me in the arm everytime i said a bad word. If i was angry the waited until i cooled off. I react best to pain so it worked for me.

Getting control of this tendency is why most Catholics when it comes to picking something special to do for Lent will choose to give up sweets. After the Christmas cookie binge I personally find this necessary both from a spiritual and physical standpoiint.

Also, you might consider that your body is looking for nutrients that you are not giving it. A good daily vitamin might help a lot.

And I will say a prayer right now....

Your teeth and stomach lining might rot but I doubt very much you will rot in hell over it.

Yes I am a food addict!

I'm currently in a 12 step program (Overeaters Annonymous) about this.
My 12 step program ( helped me to understand the grace of God) is what helped me come to christ (also because a freind of my shared the Gosple of Christ with me.)

I still have many struggles with this. though for today my food is good.
Unlike addictions with drugs , where you either take them or not take them, you still have to eat everyday ( or as we call it in OA "leting the tiger out of the cage")

So I will pray for you Johnr7, I know how tough this can be.

>>It won't send you to hell just heaven faster.

Yeah, well I would like to stay around a while. I want to go to Heaven, but I do not want to go alone. It would be kinda boring to have to indulge in all of paradise, along all by myself. So I really want to take as many people with me as I can. That means I still have work to do here. Besides I have a 4 year old who thinks he needs me.

No problem though, I am sure God is going to keep me strong and healthy, so I can serve Him and do His will. He promises to supply all of our needs above and beyond all I would ask or think. Actully, if you think about it, I am sort of over blessed with to much food I wish I could pack up some of the extra food we always seem to have around here and send it to people who really need it. Thanks, JohnR7
