It all started with a new years resolution to loose weight.  In November I joined OA.

Richard Burton is my higher Power.

My anger issue got much better. I did not want to make amends.

A half gallon of ice cream did never got its lid put back.

I began to consider what others a might be going through. Acting the same at work as in meetings.

I do not eat white flour, white sugar, white potatoes, and cheese.

My credit card debt got handled by my abstinence.

I set up Thursday Live meeting and get to share with people every week. Great community.

Before; I was extremely shy, no social skills, compete introvert.

My grandmother made three bowls of M&Ms for me and my sisters. I always compared who had the most until I found the 1 lb bag.

I really discovered amazing food in college and there was no monitor. I studied and 'mastered' Bulimia.

Food and alcohol were my paired vices. 

I joined the beverage program but still purged to handle my food- sort of.

Finding OA I was asked if I was willing.....  I thought "No', said "yes and did it.

Today I have a program, Do service to insure I go to meetings. 

I have an appropriate amount of personal drama to keep my life interesting maintain my abstinence.

I tried fasting. diet pills, protein shakes, all failws quickly.

In 2014 I came back for the third time and embraced OA Recovery adjacent.

I finally embraced the concept of red light foods and held to it... for 4 years.

A workshop called 'Sober Eating' really buttoned up my current recovery,

I have a sponsor, I have service commitments, I have sponsees, I have a daily ritual focusing in my recovery.
