You are reading from the book Food for Thought Compulsive Means My Will When I am compulsive about something, I "have to" have it or see that it is done. I am insisting on my will, my way. I forget that the world does not revolve around me. Going against the laws of the universe inevitably brings trouble. I cannot willfully consume everything my uncontrolled appetite demands without hurting myself and others. I cannot arrange other people's lives to suit my time schedule. I cannot adjust the world to me; I can adjust myself to what is, to reality. Giving up my selfish, egocentric desires is probably the most difficult task I have. "He who masters himself is greater than he who conquers a city." I cannot do it alone. Through the fellowship of OA, with the help of the program, and by the grace of my Higher Power, I seek to turn from my will to His will. Thy will be done.

Was compulsive about seeing and/or thinking about something and wouldn't be happy until I had it, be it a new dress (would save up and that dress would occupy my mind untill I had it. Once I had it, I lost interest and went on to something new), attention (people pleasing, looking outside of myself for validation and approval. Didn't love myself, so looked to others for it. Looking for love in all the wrong places), and/or Chinese food (often made my own if I could afford to buy).
My drug of choice was more.
