Hi Mimi,

My experience is that I need a food plan (some call it a plan of eating). My experience also is that people in active food addcition are not very good at devising their own food plan.

That doesn't mean that this sponsor can't help you because a lot of alcoholics can understand other addictions even if they have not used that particular substance. Perhaps a good starting point would be to write your food plan as to what you will call abstinance for you and commit it to her in writing.

Did you learn how to do a food plan in OA?
