Don't Eat the Beast

He was killing himself. Not with drugs. Not with alcohol. With food. Don't Eat the Beast is a raw, brutal and deeply honest true story about addiction that hides in plain sight. No needles. No bottles. Just everyday comfort… that slowly destroys you. Ritchie Newton knows this battle better than anyone. After defeating alcohol addiction for over 28 years, he found himself trapped again—this time by something society calls "normal": Food. What started as comfort became control. What felt harmless became deadly. This is not a diet book. This is war. A war against habits. Against excuses. Against the voice inside your head that whispers: "Just one more…" From total collapse to fighting his way back, this book takes you deep inside the mind of addiction—and the brutal truth behind it. No lies. No filters. No excuses. Just one question remains: Are you controlling the beast… or is the beast controlling you?
