Recovering addict

I'm in recovery
Have been for a few years
My addiction was killing me
When I realizes I was an addict
I was shocked
This isn't the kind of thing
We like to think about
I have no track marks
I rarely drink
And as for pills
Even with a prescription
I didn't always take them
And some people would have
Good shit you know?
No I needed control of myself too much
To lose it to drugs
So what,
you are asking,
Am I addicted to?
Truthfully it's junk food
I don't mean that I like it a lot
I hit the DSM:IV right on the dot
Substance abuse
Dependence
It was pretty bad
Want proof?
How about the stretch marks I had
After losing 160 pounds
I realize I was putting myself into
An early grave
And the worst part is I can't just quit cold turkey
Apparently I have to eat
I guess if I don't I get a new diagnosis
