If we use food to meet other needs, such as emotional needs, we risk damaging our health or being enmeshed in eating disorders like bulimia or anorexia.

If we use alcohol to ease our anxiety or to treat other mental health conditions, then we can end up in the gutter. We can become addicted to smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, doing drugs, overeating food, or engaging in excessive sexual indulgences, if we keep chasing after the high that all too soon becomes a low.
