Another excellent post. I applaud your willingness to take risks. He is also doing a service by informing people in his way. I tried to bring my personal message of sugar addiction to my coworkers when I was accepted into the group at work of "Wellness Advocates" and when we introduced ourselves, I added that I was a sugar addict. Later on a fellow came up to me and said that he was one himself, in a conspiratorial way. Upon further conversation with him, he was content to say that, but had no intention of giving up sweets. Kind of how I used to joke with fellow drinkers that I was an alcoholic.

I also tried during this stint with the 'Wellness Advocates" to see if I could bring Judy Collins to the company to talk about addictions (including food addiction, based on her book) but I was not able to get the support from the people there, nor from others in the company. But one never knows how the message will take hold.
