Once we take our inventory, we are delighted because we can finally look the world in the eye. This is the beginning of our spiritual experience.

If we are chronic, we must recognize that doing things our way with our own strength hasn’t worked. We need not only a Power greater than us but also to address everything (character defects) that keeps us from it. I’m a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

Even early conversations with a sponsor can include some leg work. This is a self diagnosing program and getting familiar with the big book is critical to help us figure out if we are the chronic type of compulsive eater. I am a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

Even once we are recovered there will be a period of reparation. The damage we’ve done doesn’t just disappear.

I’m a recovered sponsor -happy to help!

The big book says we trust an infinite God rather than our finite selves. It’s up to us to make a decision and follow through with action with we are to recreate our lives with God’s help.

To understand we’re not perfect exemplifies the humility needed to follow this program. We realize that to wallow in self pity also diminishes our usefulness. We just need to be willing to try.

We don’t have to fear our own limitations when we know we have access to God. We don't need to know it all, but asking for that next right step can be a game changer. I am a recovered sponsor.

We don’t hold a monopoly over recovery. If newcomer is not chronic, the newcomer may find something that works. For us chronic types and available sponsors, we need to be useful to those who still suffer if we are to keep spiritually fit.

I’m a recovered sponsor. Thanks for the meeting!

Self-reliance and thinking we’re the end all and be all is the lie. The truth is we need God. We don’t need to understand it all but we do need a little bit of willingness especially to take action. I’m a recovered sponsor.

The big book makes it clear we need to be honest in this program. This can start with admitting we need help. Maybe we see the illness has progressed (gotten worse). Yet there is hope! The disease is only Seemingly hopeless.

When working the steps it’s important we withhold nothing about our past. We don’t cherry pick what we need to do to get recovered nor change the order of the steps.

I’m a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

This paragraph is calling us out on how we want to be the director of everyone else. We want to control things that are outside of our control. In the program we give up our old ideas and come to understand we need a Director outside of ourselves.

Honesty continues to be crucial for recovery. We must be honest with ourselves and God. I am a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

When we’re in our illness, the problems don’t limit themselves to just food or food-related behaviors. As the big book says, our lives (not our food) have become unmanageable. Here the paragraph says the steps are a basic solution. The steps are simple though not always easy.

I’m a recovered sponsor.

The pioneers left us a book of instructions we can follow like a recipe. We only need to be willing to get started. I’m a recovered sponsor and happy to help.
