Hello Psyched2Survive,

Glad you posted this. I too am a member of Overeaters Anonymous. It has been the sole reason why I have been able to be abstinent from binge eating for nearly 6 months, since I joined the program. I make sure to attend an online meeting every day, contact my sponsor on a daily basis, work the steps to the best of my ability, and keep in touch with my Higher Power throughout the day. I also enjoy reading the OA literature, and meditating. I also attend a F2F meeting in my area once a week.

The program has also helped me to find a plan of eating that works for me, as well as an exercise plan I really enjoy. No longer do I obsess about doing these things in excess, exercise is actually enjoyable, and I also enjoy the food on my plan of eating!

In the past month or so, I have really been focusing on Step 12. I became a sponsor, and I lead 4 online meetings a week. Doing service to the program that saved my sanity feels wonderful.
