"I have an addictive personality. I have used food and other substances...and even though I've been able to stop and put aside other addictions, food is the hardest because ou have to eat. Any other addiction, it's cold turkey. You need to stop smoking, addicted to cigarettes, you have to stop. Period! You're addicted to drinking, you can't just have a beer. You can't have any, ever. Or any other drug. Well, you can't do that with food.
