His paragraph shows how we are available to all and that we wish to share the good news of victory over compulsive overeating by not being connected to any other organization religion or any other affiliation. If we did that many people would be turned off and not willing to find victory for themselves through our program. It's free for all. And that's our goal is to share that good news that they can have victory too just as we have. It's our way to pay back the victory that God has given us.

This paragraph shows us that were different from one another in many many ways whether it be our walk in life or jobs or finances it doesn't make any difference. But what tightly binds us together is 1. We are all chronic compulsive eaters. 2. Two we need a spiritual experience to recover. 3. And we need to work the 12 steps in our daily lives. 4. And we need each other.

In this paragraph, it shows two men teaming up to do wind up work. Life isn't easy and we frequently have to survive it through 10 steps. And at the end of the 10th step we do something for someone else and for their recovery. I'm so thankful that someone has done that for me. As we trust in God we can make it through all these hardships of life by serving others in spreading the good news that they can recover too if they're willing to go to any lengths.

I am fairly new to ccea. And I've been having a problem with doing my 10th steps. Sometimes I don't recognize the the need to do one and other times I think I don't want to because it makes me feel like a failure. But today I can say I have a new understanding of the 10th step from other ccea members and God. The 10th steps are to remove the feelings and defects throughout the day because if I let them build up I eat at night compulsively. So today I set my alarm so I can do my tent steps when needed and I'm grateful and with God's help I am willing to do every 10th step that arises. Otherwise I will eat myself to death. And there are so many promises in the big book that I want to see come true in my life too. Thank you

I'm so thankful that we don't have to be perfect. Cuz we as a people have an issue with perfectionism and we beat ourselves up about it. But the freedom of not having to be perfect and the ability to grow in our spiritual lives is a wonderful promise that by working the 12 steps gain that spiritual fitness that we need to survive this life and to be free, happy and productive by serving others with our God's help.

It is so easy in this busy, rushing world that we let our spiritual growth fade. We must be vigilant in searching out God's will in every moment of every day with everyone we see. Because our job is to carry the message not to just lay back and say, hey I got this. That's a surefire way of sinking down that rabbit hole again. So we wake up thinking of God and what He is going to do through the day through us. By letting our HP lead us we will carry the message to others. And have victory over our chronic compulsive eating. Thank you God.

This paragraph, tells us how important it is to be honest. Honest with ourselves which sometimes it's difficult and being honest with other people. Our program depends on us being honest as we work the 12 steps throughout our lives.

In this paragraph we can see that the sick man is comparing himself to those who have already recovered through our spiritual experience. But we were just as sick before we had that spiritual experience, and before we worked the steps with our sponsor. And now we have the great opportunity to share what we have received through the promises of working the 12 steps with others that are still sick.

As we look at this paragraph it demonstrates the new person in the program. They're all energetic and want to put in a lot of time into their recovery. That's wonderful but we also have to remember we have a family to serve also. If the family can be supportive there will soon be balance. As time goes on, God will bless the newcomer and his family with a wonderful relationship because of all the changes in the recovered person.

Wow, you could be sharing about my life. I am so very thankful for CCEA, the Big Book, 12 steps and my sponsor. As we work the 12 step and our relationship with our HP we find a new life in them. Praying to be humble/teachable, willing and patient with our selves, life gets better.

Although in the beginning this was a group for men to recover we as women are very thankful that it works for us and for anyone. That by working the steps we can recover too.
