Stories and resources to help people recovering from food addiction
Many books have been written about the topic of addiction, and food addiction in particular. Many features of addiction are the same, regardless of the substance or behaviours that people are addicted to. Some of the books here have been found useful by people who are recovering from food addiction.
Twelve step programs can have a lot of religious overtones, and that can make people who don’t believe in the Christian god feel left out. The programs are actually meant to be “spiritual” and not religious, but even the word “spiritual” makes some of us cringe. This book is about finding the kind of spirituality that can help an addict achieve recovery, without reference to any religion, and without sounding like you are joining some sort of new age cult.
Twelve step programs are rooted in Christianity, so they can be off-putting to people who are not Christian, or not religious. This book gives twenty alternative ways of thinking about the twelve steps, none of which require a belief in a “supernatural interventionist deity”. The author, Roger C., is the founder of the “We Agnostics” AA group.
This book was highly recommended by Brad from the No God OA Podcast (Season 1 Episode 45: What is it so hard to get back on track after a relapse?).
