When food becomes your closest friend, your comfort, and eventually your captor, where do you turn? In this deeply honest conversation, Kristy McCammon shares her journey from childhood food addiction to finding true freedom through surrendering to Christ.

As a lifelong Christian who still struggled with binge eating and food obsession, Kristy discovered that knowing Jesus wasn't enough - she had to make Him Lord over every area of her life, including her relationship with food. Through tears, surrender, and God's abundant grace, she learned to trade the false comfort of processed foods for the true comfort found only in Christ.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How childhood trauma can create unhealthy coping mechanisms that follow us into adulthood
• The difference between physical and emotional food cravings
• Practical tools for navigating food pushers and social situations
• Why shame keeps us trapped and how grace sets us free
• The "stop, pray, walk away" method for breaking compulsive eating patterns
• How to advocate for yourself while maintaining loving relationships

Whether you're struggling with food addiction, emotional eating, or any area where you're seeking comfort from sources other than God, this conversation will encourage you to take that next step toward surrender and freedom.

Are you caught in the chaos of addiction, constantly cleaning up emotional, spiritual, and physical messes that aren't yours? Welcome to Faith Over Addiction, where faith meets real life. Hosted by Family Recovery Coach Tanya Gioia, this podcast is designed to offer Christian women hope, healing, and practical tools to navigate the challenges of loving someone with addiction.

Through biblical truths, heartfelt stories, and actionable guidance, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, find peace in the mess, and reclaim your God-given identity. You don’t have to carry what was never meant to be yours. It’s time to shift from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me,” and let God transform the chaos into something that glorifies Him.

Every week, I’m here to encourage you, offer clarity, and remind you that as a daughter of the King, You Always Have Other Options (YAHOO). Together, we’ll embrace faith as the foundation, boundaries as the bridge to healing, and God’s truth as the ultimate guide to freedom, strength, and grace.

Blessings,

Tanya Gioia 🌸
