(((Biscuits)))) Thank you. I also feel my food addiction predates all the others... it may well be my reall "drug of choice".
The rest of my family is slender... and isn't it a coincidence that they were far more addicted to other substances? Just had the need filled in another way, I think.
There is a growing body of evidence that our addictions are tied to physical elements... like the way our brain responds to endorphins (which are produced by food) and the way it grows receptor sites to compensate for the surges of chemicals, then sends out messages "cravings" when those receptor sites are empty.
I think we are not far from a time when there will be medication for addiction, similar to how there is medication for depression. There was a time when clinical depression was an embarrassment and shameful condition that people shied away from... much as they do addiction today. I pray the researchers can get there soon....
((hugs))
