12 step program around food...inquiries/support?

I once dated a man who was in recovery for addictions for 4 years. During these 4 years I was introduced to the 12 step program. I have been realizing that food is my "drug" of choice however unlike drugs or alcohol I can not just stop eating food because I need it to live.

When your in "recovery" the idea is that you write out each section of the 12 steps and share them with either one other person or a group of people. The steps are spiritually based and have several questions to answer in each step.

I have been contemplating actually writing out the 12 steps around food. I actually have a spiritual book store right around the corner from me that may have a 12 step guid around food and eating. They close early so I wont be able to check until Saturday.

I am hoping that I can find at least one person who may be willing to work through a set of these steps with me not to base them on any kind of alcohol or drug addiction but based on a food addiction.

It would be great if we could work through this together.

Let me know

Thanks

Sounds like a good idea to me. I am not familiar with the 12 steps, although I have heard of them. I would definitely subscribe to a 12 step program for food addiction, b/c that's me. Junk food addict.
