After singing for years about heartache and scorned lovers, Alanis Morissette is now opening up about another personal struggle – her eating disorders.
‘The big question for me around eating-disorder recovery is, “What is sobriety with food?”,’ she admits in a new interview with Women’s Health magazine.
‘We know with alcohol, you just don’t drink it and don’t go to a bar. With heroin, you just don’t go near it.’
However as she explains food is a lot harder to control: ‘Whereas with food, you have to eat, so how can one go from, in my case, bingeing and purging, starving, overeating, the scale going up and down – how can I go from that to a “sober” approach?’
