i am in AA as well, and i see a therapist and dietician who specialize in eating disorders also. My therapist recently recommended a book called "How much does your soul weigh" by Dorie McCubbrey. I have been reading it and it has worked wonders. I definitely am addicted to food. And personally i believe it is harder to recover from than the alcohol. You should check the book out though. But as with drinking, i still had to hit a point of desperation, and have no other options before i became willing to truly do anything about my eating. it's always been miserable, but i had to hit bottom. Good luck!
