I know someone who successfully got their food addiction under control via “FA” - see foodaddicts.org. Basically they put you on a strict food plan where you weigh & measure all parts of your meals and avoid sugar and any of your personal triggers, and you check in regularly with a sponsor like in AA. Not something I would want to do, but for one person I know who couldn’t get their eating under control, it worked really well.

If you want to do twelve step but find FA too rigid, you can also check out OA (Overeater's Anonymous). It doesn't have a set food plan; you come up with your own with the help of your sponsor and a nutritionist.
