Good on you Cat for having the guts to open yourself up and put it out there. Hi, my name is Donna and I'm an emotional/boredom eater and ruled by the contents of my pantry far more often than I think is healthy. I've had an obsession with food for almost as long as I can remember - swinging between eating disorders that damage my mental health as well as my physical health, and then back to eating because I'm bored, sad, angry, depressed, stressed out, or have nothing else to do - then putting on weight, hating myself and eating more, and more, until I crack and starve myself for months on end. It's a vicious cycle, and I've grown to become suspicious of EVERY bit of food in my house, but rely on it for comfort.
I'd never thought of applying the 12-step program to something as 'normal' as eating - but you know what? I think it's a brilliant idea. I'll definitely tag along for the ride, I hope this is able to help you overcome your difficulties with food. *hugs*
