Food as a drug

Food as a drug

I used food as a drug when I used food:

1. to relax me
2. to put me to sleep
3. (Ironically) to keep me going, when I feel tired
4. to calm me, when I feel angry
5. to fill me, when I feel needy
6. to be with, when I feel lonely
7. to defend, when I feel hurt
8. to sate me when I feel sad
9. to lessen my frustration

I use it to celebrate all major holidays and occasions:

1. Fourth of July
2. Christmas
3. Thanksgiving
4. Memorial Day
5. Veteran’s Day
6. Labor Day
7. Easter
8. Martin Luther King’s birthday
9. Mothers’ Day
10. Father’s Day
11. Juneteenth
12. My daughter’s birthday
13. My daughter’s graduation
