For years, I told myself I just needed more willpower. If I could just eat “in moderation,” I wouldn’t struggle so much. But the truth? I was addicted to certain foods. No amount of self-control could change that.
Step 1 in our Christ-centered recovery is about honesty: "We admitted we have an addiction to certain foods and behaviors around food and that complete abstinence from our binge foods is necessary for recovery."
This wasn’t easy to accept. I wanted to believe I could still have “just one” without falling back into the cycle of obsession, guilt, and regret. But when I surrendered my struggle to God, He showed me a better way—not through deprivation, but through freedom.
John 8:36 says, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
Real freedom isn’t found in trying harder—it’s found in trusting God’s strength instead of our own. When I finally let go of the foods that controlled me, I found peace I never thought possible.
