"Missed first few minutes, Mike G, amung a crew of guys whose sole purpose was to eat BBQ and lots of it. REALLY LOTS!!!" My BBQ band was my way of being. I would eat tons, publicly, deliberately and proudly. I came into OA My sponsor suggested go to 3 meals a day and 5 things I don't eat. Meetings made it seem real. I was doing the deal. Others were doing the deal. Eating was my connection- now it is OA. Now I sponsor men and i REALLY do care about them. I came in with a list of what my higher power was not. I found I could determine what it would be. My food is now a gift from my higher power building me, nutritionally, I used to used food to keep my rage down. it pooped out as I recovery. I stayed the course and have some scene of emotional sobriety, appropriate reactions to life |
