Thank you everyone for your encouragement. I have read your replies several times and they have helped me put this journey in a better perspective. I have had breakfast everyday for the last 7 days and I just came back from buying breakfast supplies. I think I will do this for a couple more weeks before I go further with reading ahead of step 1. I tend to be an overachiever in most areas of my life except this one and I don't want to get ahead of myself this time.

I will also be joining the step one forum that was mentioned.

Again, thank for your encouraging words. I don't feel so alone in this anymore or that I am an out of control freak. My addiction has been such a big ugly secret, this book just made me face it. I wasn't quite prepared for that reality at the time.
