Overeating Addiction Meetings

When people first start going to meetings, I tell themto shop around. They are run by addicts like yourselves,so you are bound to meet some people who are too muchto bear! Some meetings are more loving than others, anda few are too rigid or judgmental for comfort."Take what you like and leave the rest." If the first group you finddoesn't give you what you need, keep looking until you find one that does. Some meetings tend to focus on theaddiction and others tend to focus on recovery. I preferthe latter. I know more than enough about my addictionbut never enough about recovery. Once you find a groupthat makes you feel at home, keep going back. Whenpatients ask me, "How long do I have to go to meetings?"I tell them, "Until you want to go." When you start out,it's good to know the feeling of "have to go" will leave andyou will want to go to the fellowship. We were not meantto live alone. Only the addict in you believes that, so it cancontinue to wield its power over you.

People who are born with endorphin deficiencies canbecome addicted to meetings, because being around loving, caring people raises their endorphin level Their life is terrible, they feel awful, everything's going wrong, and someone suggests they go to a meeting. There they get an endorphin rush and feel immediately better, although theycan't tell you exactly what was said or what happened toimprove their mood. I wouldn't worry about becomingaddicted to meetings, particularly if you're one of thoseborn with an endorphin deficiency. To me, the benefits ofthe fellowship far outweigh any concern about whetherpeople will become addicted to meetings because inthemselves they fulfill a basic human need to be sociable.
