It seems easier to answer other questions - those that are more self-directed than questions about looking for help for someone else or something else. Maybe because it also means that I have to change - to listen - to ask for the help to work through the issues that make me act compulsively.
I can see how this hard to accept for an atheist - someone who doesn't accept that there is a higher power, because then you are asking for help from nothing. You may as well as for help from a car or statue or a wall.
But coming to accept that there is a power greater than yourself, even if it means just putting your will and your hopes into that things control, it will make it possible to give up the things that are holding me back.
Holding my grandson I realize that there isn't anything that he isn't completely dependent upon from his family - parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. He has turned his will over to them - his control and as they are benevolent he will thrive. Jesus told his disciples that unless they come to the kingdom as a child they would not enter. That is what he was saying - give your will to God and he will care for you. Even his prayer says "Thy will be done".
So asking for the help and turning over my will to God is the only way to sanity with food.
