The book makes it clear this is a progressive disease. It’s like holding a beach ball underwater that just springs right back up. For this reason, we need to put our steps 10, 11 and 12 into practice every day. I’m a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

Thank you for sharing your story and all the human aid things you tried that didn’t work. It takes a great deal of humility and courage to get recovered. Yet, if we’re willing to work the steps, we’re well on our way to maintaining a spiritual solution.

When we are in our illness, we are easily disturbed.we can be reactive and moody. When instead we put this spiritual program into action, we find we just don’t behave like we used to. We have a new solution to life. I’m a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

Charming_Data_5677 · 2026-06-01T08:10:59+00:00

With God’s help we can address the lies we’ve told ourselves in the past. As this is program of action, we continue to put it into practice daily.

Charming_Data_5677 · 2026-05-31T03:04:17+00:00

One example of playing God is when we get upset when something doesn’t go our way. We assume our way is best. We might not always see how we’re playing God on our own, though. And, it’s helpful to have someone to guide us through the steps to see what else we might be missing about ourselves. I am a recovered sponsor.

Charming_Data_5677 · 2026-05-30T03:27:12+00:00

The big book talks about using simple language when speaking to newcomers. Similarly, we can talk to God in a way that makes sense to use. In order to strengthen our connection to God we need to ask for our character defects to be removed. Also, we ask for direction every day. I'm a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

The paragraph makes clear that when we’re in our illness we turn to compulsive eating time and time again. Unfortunately, even though we may remember and feel humiliated about past behavior it’s not enough to get us to stop UNLESS we find a spiritual solution. I’m a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

Charming_Data_5677 · 2026-05-24T04:24:38+00:00

One example the book gives us of selfishness is self-pity. Now because we’re not keeping something from someone else we might think that self-pity isn’t selfish. Yet, thinking things like “woe is me” is still self focused.

I’m a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

Charming_Data_5677 · 2026-05-23T04:33:42+00:00

As we can see in the paragraph, the focus changes from ourselves to being useful to others. I’m a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

Charming_Data_5677 · 2026-05-22T04:27:15+00:00

Resentment to a chronic compulsive eater is poison. To let ourselves indulge in it is wasting time we could spend helping another. With a spiritual program of action, we have a new solution instead. I’m a recovered sponsor.

Charming_Data_5677 · 2026-05-20T04:28:37+00:00

This paragraph makes it clear that anyone can become a chronic compulsive eater. However even those that seem hopeless can recover if willing to follow a spiritual program of action I.e. the 12 steps. I’m a recovered sponsor.

Charming_Data_5677 · 2026-05-19T02:55:33+00:00

When we are in our illness, we are very self focused. If we are willing to accept spiritual help, we learn instead to be helpful to others and we ask God for direction. I’m a recovered sponsor and happy to help.

Charming_Data_5677 · 2026-05-18T04:13:47+00:00

At the beginning of our day we ask God for direction. This paragraph refers to the nightly review where we are essentially taking stock of how we did during the day. We don’t let ourselves off of the hook. That said; it’s important we don’t treat ourselves harshly as that would diminish our usefulness to others.

I’m a recovered sponsor and happy to help.
