2021/12/03

Tony S from New Zealand in his own words: I came into Alcoholics Anonymous in a very dark state in 1989, and while I was grateful when the craving to drink and drug was removed by a power greater than me, the obsession to eat I'd been battling all my life got more powerful by the day. I continued to eat addictively, and, as a result, didn't experience the freedoms of AA's promises. (Sponsoring myself for eight years didn't help!). In a Paris hotel in 2002, after a deeply

Through his parents' attempts at sexual education, Ryan learned that sex was supposed to be a loving, connecting thing – never mind that it was only supposed to be used in marriage. At 8 years old, he discovered
