But an addict who finds the willingness can then rely on the same trait to stay clean: \"Just don't drink,\" they say in AA. How's that going to work for an addicted eater? Food addicts have to take the tiger out of the cage three times a day. I've read that some drinkers have tried \"controlled drinking,\" and it hasn't been very successful. Eaters don't just have to try it; they must practice it to survive. Having a food plan is an attempt to address that, and having clear boundaries is a key to its working. But the comfort of all or nothing is just out of reach. ... I'm saying that food addicts, unlike alcoholics and may others, have both to try for perfection and to accept that perfection is unattainable, and that the only tool left is a wholesome discipline. The problem is, if we had any clue about wholesome discipline, we wouldn't be addicts.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Michael Prager" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/michael-prager/black-and-white-thinking-is-the-addict-s-mentality-which-can-be-a-bar/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ae9/michael-prager-70980_addict_black-and-white-thinking-is-the-addict-s_1258293.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ae9/michael-prager-70980_addict_black-and-white-thinking-is-the-addict-s_1258293.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ae9/michael-prager-70980_addict_black-and-white-thinking-is-the-addict-s_1258293.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Black-and-white thinking is the addict's mentality, which can be a bar to recovery when one is still active…” — Michael Prager", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“If the world was black and white then darkness would have never mind , the night would have never cried and the day would have never smiled ...”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "muskan bhatia" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/muskan-bhatia/if-the-world-was-black-and-white-then-darkness-would-have-never-mind/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/64d/muskan-bhatia-110785_black-and-white_if-the-world-was-black-and-white-then-da_1893002.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/64d/muskan-bhatia-110785_black-and-white_if-the-world-was-black-and-white-then-da_1893002.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/64d/muskan-bhatia-110785_black-and-white_if-the-world-was-black-and-white-then-da_1893002.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“If the world was black and white then darkness would have never mind , the night would have never cried and…” — muskan bhatia", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Was it malice or stupidity? Doha had found that the motivation for most confusing attributes of other people could be classified into one of those two categories. Someone cutting in a line? Either they were too oblivious to notice the queue (stupidity—unaware of one’s surroundings) or simply didn’t care that they were inconveniencing others (malice—a prioritization of the self above others). So, in the case of Renee refusing to call him by his preferred name, Doha had quickly inferred that she was either consistently forgetful, even after multiple reminders (stupid to a pitiful degree) or determined to call him what she wanted to, regardless of his preference (malicious, but in a rude, undercutting sort of way).”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Molly Collier" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/molly-collier/was-it-malice-or-stupidity-doha-had-found-that-the-motivation-for/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1b6/molly-collier-33251_black-and-white-thin_was-it-malice-or-stupidity-doha-had-foun_3178474.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1b6/molly-collier-33251_black-and-white-thin_was-it-malice-or-stupidity-doha-had-foun_3178474.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1b6/molly-collier-33251_black-and-white-thin_was-it-malice-or-stupidity-doha-had-foun_3178474.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Was it malice or stupidity?
