Every Diet worked once. I tried them all. I was 12 stepped by my wife and I didn't even know it was happening. OA was OK but I had a big problem with the word 'GOD'. After a substantial relapse I was finally, 'Willing to go to any lengths'. Today my program affords me an astounding life.

Downed a bottle of Children's aspirin for the orange flavor. Being extremely active helped me avoid weight gain. Sugar free chocolate was a gateway food for me. Came back to OA in 2004 letting everyone know I already knew everything about it. Amazingly when I changed my food plan with anothers help, I lost my weight. Now miracles happen daily.

Grew up in angry home By coincidence I found an OA meeting I could walk to right after I had been given I Big Book and identified. I found a sponsor who took me through the steps after I was abstinent from my alcoholic foods. Today I am overcoming the bedevilments (Page 52) and experiencing the promises (Page 83-84) one day at a time.

Grew up in overweight family. Food competition was the norm. Food, Drugs, alcohol became my life, I had no clue. 12 steps in my first program changed my life but not my food. I found OA and it worked so well I decided I didn't need it. Finally got back with new sponsor and took direction. Now I have added Spirituality into my food plan.

I pulled over an Xmas Tree but held on to the candy cane. Knowledge of nutrition did not reduce my obsession. A life change led to isolation, skipping meetings and the thought I can do it myself... It did not go well. Finally made it back, got a sponsor and followed direction. Today I have a daily ritual which helps me stay on track keeps the obsession at bay.

As a child chubby turned into obese and brough in speed. I just wanted to be able to pick a dress off the rack. I had lost weight but was very unhealthy when I was 12 stepped in a hair salon. Changed from 'What are you going to do about it' to what am I going to do about it.

Food helped me feel safe in an unsafe environment growing up. When binging and restricting failed me I added exercise bulimia to my repertoire of inappropriate tools. First came to OA in 2003, Did everything I was told except get a sponsor and do the steps. Once back I came to believe if it worked for others it could work for me.

Food was not my problem, it was my solution but it was killing me. I hid my pain by eating compulsively. Coming from my very dark place the light offered by OA was blinding. I need the program and steps to make the adjustment possible.

Understanding I had a disease and it wasn't my fault was the beginning of my recovery. My recovery starts in the grocery store.

Working the steps from the big book helped me identify my lcohilic foods and refrain. Talking through the steps and the relationships between them weaves the tapestry for a life of recovery. Now it is still all about service, sponsoring, and passing it on as directed by God.

I binged and purged while in a treatment center for another issue. Uing the tools does not equal recovery. I Finally Did the Work of the 12 steps for the spiritual recovery offered in OA. Truly doing the 3rd steps releicved my pain. My current hunger is to know God and his will for me, be of service and help others. It is better.

I remember the food at weddings I went to when I was 10 years old. Overweight in school, compensated by being funny. Success in business allowed to pay for lots of plans, drugs, formulas, They all worked ...for a nano second. Traded my food for the 12 steps and my life is better.

A Sunday promise led to Monday amnesia. I did not connect the quantity component while eating 'Approved' foods. Attended OA Meetings for 16 years but did not work until I REALLY embraced step one, got a sponsor and Worked the Steps. I don't eat anything can't leave on the plate. Today I remember this disease if permanent, progressive and fatal.

Weight was a problem in by the time I was 10. President's fitness challenge was terrifying. Major weight loss in High School gave me a validation I continue to chase. My first 12 step program suggested I eat to handle my new feelings. up 30 lbs following direction.. Today my recovery includes how I treat others, how I treat myself, is my recovery work consistent, and am I staying connected.
