Mary talks about the powerlessness to stop eating once she started, and she discusses the secrecy around her addiction. We address not only physical recovery but also emotional and mental recovery.
Mary shares, "Living three decades in active food addiction was the hardest thing I have ever endured. Now with three decades of abstinence and recovery, I experience complete freedom from addictive cravings and obsession."
For many years she and her partner/husband led what is now Shift Recovery by Acorn (INFACT School partner) helping many people recover from food addiction and find the solution. For over 30 years Mary has worked a 12-step program which has involved measuring her food and working with others.
Mary shares the common experience with a number of our guests, recovered addicts as well as working professionally in the food addiction treatment field.
