I think we can use the same "mindset" with sugar/sweets that we did with our drug of choice. Why not use the 12 Steps? Dieting never really did me any good, but I think the 12 Steps have worked better than anything.
I could get addicted to dog bones, I swear! I have SUCH an addictive personality!!! So the 12 steps are crucial to me!
Just a thought.

Good luck! Hugs, Lee
