OUR EXPERIENCE
All Recovery Stories
Discover how many men and women have found freedom from food through the Twelve Steps of Addictive Eaters Anonymous.


I love our way of life

I am no longer looking in from the outside

I have also been relieved of depression

I was spiralling out of control

Fourteen years of bingeing hell

Finding the answer

A new way of life

I had to surrender

To get well I had to give up the food

Don't quit before the miracle happens

Constant obsession lifted

Freed from obsession

From madness to hope

Today I have a different life

I didn't know what was wrong with me

A life beyond food and addiction

A new way to handle life

A progressive disease

Freed from my secret life

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom

Freed from food and exercise

From self hatred to sobriety

That first meeting planted a seed

A sense of belonging

My case wasn't different

I've got freedom from eating and thinking about food

Diets and fasting never stopped me bingeing and vomiting
