[quote=Anonymous]What the old AA books call "alcoholic mind" is a real thing. I have it and for me it manifested as compulsive eating and obesity starting around age 4. I eventually found OA via a poster in a library when I was 27 and lost the extra weight. But I have to work every day to stay in recovery. It's in my head. My body follows my head. I binge drank weekends in college and adulthood but I do not have the genetic susceptibility to alcohol. I hardly drank at all after age 60. I haven't had alcohol this year except once in a restaurant. Bottom line is the mental part is real and for alcoholics it's physical too. [/quote]
