We are all equal. We are all addicts. What does an addict look like, "Someone who is using." Thanks to OA and other fellowships, we don't have to pick up and abuse ourself and others, just for today. |

So grateful for the healing this program has given me. So glad that my God and I can work on things one day at a time. |

When I was on the AA Help Line it was suggested that I not talk to anyone who was under the influence. They won't remember talk to you or what you said. I did a few times because I got some lonely people and they just wanted to talk. I don't know if my words were heard, but it always helped me when I shared with another suffering alcoholic/addict. |

I have a new boss, and I am not it. |

Lord protect me from myself. Give me the knowingness and clarity I need to know the difference between my God and the voice of addiction. Just because I love it doesn't mean it is good for me. |

When I procrastinate, I miss out on today. When I put it off until tomorrow, it doesn't happen. Tomorrow never comes, it is always today. |

You are reading from the book Food for Thought Research In OA meetings, we sometimes hear reports of "research" done by a member who breaks abstinence in order to find out whether he or she is still a compulsive overeater. The experiment invariably proves that once a compulsive overeater, always a compulsive overeater. Among the results are remorse, regained weight, and weakened control. It has been said that we are like someone who has lost a leg. We do not grow a new one. We can, nevertheless, learn to live with our disability if we are willing to abstain and follow the OA program. Most of us find that we cannot go back to eating binge foods moderately, but we can avoid them. We are like the alcoholic who can lead a normal, satisfying life as long as he or she stays away from alcohol. Further research is not necessary. By accepting our need for a disciplined eating plan, we can benefit from the experience of those who have been in the program longer than we. May I remember that further research is unnecessary. |

The same thing with food, when I find something that is healthy to eat, if it takes over my thinking and is followed by action, like instead of having once or twice a day, it becomes to be more. Whenever my mind starts thinking more, I know I am in my disease and I need to turn things over to my Higher Power. |
Quote:
I know I should say `Nay`to brownies, but when I eat them any way, I am acting out in my disease. My God and I are working on this, along with thoughts of an Aero chocolate bar. |
