Serenity

Jan 30, 2017

I know I just blogged like half a second ago, but I have to say something about my OA experience today. Initially, I was intimidated at the thought that I was even entertaining Overeaters Anonymous. As a matter of fact, I had a nurse practitioner refer me to them many years ago and I took offense. I am so glad that I got beyond myself and out of my feelings about it because there is a peace and serenity that comes from giving yourself over to God and having him work on your addiction. Truly resigning yourself to the prrocess brings about a serenity that I cannot explain. Today despite the back pain I experience all night long (which would have normally been a huge trigger for me), I stayed peaceful, content, and willing to work the program. I am so thankful for it and I encourage everyone to give it a chance. It does involve a huge spiritual component so if you are not into that then it may not be for you, but if you do have an unhealthy relationship with food (and I think we all do, especially since we are here) give it a shot. It's free, and all you have to do is come with an open mind and a desire to change. Just my two cents... Have a good evening folks!

Step1:We admitted that we are powerless over food and that our lives have become unmanagable.

Step2: Came to believe that a Power (GOD) greater than ourselves could restoreus to sanity.

Step3: Made a decision to turn our will and lives over to the care of GOD as we understand Him.

One Day at a Time...
