  Yeah that's one of the main points he brings up. The other one he talks about that I think deserves highlighting is the "last house on the block" problem, where a lot of other successful addicts have turned to food as a more "acceptable" vice, and then struggle immensely to defeat it when they realise it's the last one left. I know I certainly struggle with that fact. I had serious problems with both weed and benzodiazepines, and while I certainly wasn't skinny while I was on them, my weight only really started to spiral uncontrollably once I successfully kicked them. I agree completely with this article by the way. While quitting weed was mentally exhausting, and quitting benzos was physically painful, food is the only one out of the three that I haven't been successful with so far. I think that says a lot.

  It might be worth considering switching to exclusively Soylent (or a similar product) - something you don't exactly eat and that lets you consume exact amounts of every nutrient.
