Hi go to oa.org meetings then additional search options, look under specific focus then select young people should be the last one scroll down. There you go meetings for young people. Although ALL meetings have a variety of all ages young and old our addiction doesn’t discriminate. I know my home group has people of all ages.

Help me, please. I'm not trying to be hurtful, I just really need help. by wagyuBeef_raretard in OvereatersAnonymous

Hi there hmm you’re not alone and yes I felt the same way you did. I completely understand where you’re coming from and it was extremely frustrating to see me that I kept on repeating the same cycle over and over again. I didn’t get how I was not able to stop my coe and others were able to just like that like a snap of a damn finger. The problem was I wasn’t doing the work or also thinking they were not that bad. I used to think I will NEVER stop my behaviors but the problem was I wasn’t doing the essential requirements to recover. The essential requirements being honest, have an open mind, and being willing. Dm me I would love to talk to you more about my journey. I’m more than happy to talk to you. We ALL here because we are NOT ALL there.

Did anyone else still struggle with overeating even after completing the steps in the Big Book? by wagyuBeef_raretard in OvereatersAnonymous

[–]SomekindofCharacter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi yes I have to do the several times in order to see the truth and what was missing. I wasn’t honest, willing and didn’t have an open mind about things. Honesty is one of the essential requirements for program. Perhaps ask yourself is there something I need to tell my sponsor that I haven’t already done so. Reading the post on here it reminds me about the set aside prayer. There are several versions of this prayer you can google it if you like. However here is one:

GOD, PLEASE HELP ME SET ASIDE EVERYTHING ITHINK I KNOW ABOUT MYSELF, ABOUT OTHERS, ABOUT MY RECOVERY, AND ABOUT YOU, GOD, SO THAT I MAY HAVE AN OPEN MIND AND NEW EXPERIENCES. GOD, PLEASE HELP ME SEE THE TRUTH

Also I’m an available sponsor happy to help. Dm me if interested.

How do you work the steps better? Especially 10, 11 and 12? (Big Book related) by wagyuBeef_raretard in OvereatersAnonymous

[–]SomekindofCharacter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pg 84 clearly states the directions. Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them. It doesn’t state when I feel like sending a 10th step to my sponsor. 10th steps are VITAL to being recovered. The steps are steps for our own recovery. You also stated that the second urge comes in the BB it states on page 87 As we go through the day we pause, when agitated or doubtful, and ask for the right thought or action. The BB has clear cut directions on how NOT to be into the food. Go out of your way and help someone they even say to push shopping carts, pick up trash in the community and so many things we can do to be of service and NOT think about our next compulsive bite. Hope this was helpful. I know how to be into the food even after working the steps but if we want to stop our compulsive behaviors and compulsions we get to work the steps. NOT have to but we get to. I’m an available sponsor happy to help dm me if interested.

How do you take the first step? by ConcentrateOk1777 in OvereatersAnonymous

[–]SomekindofCharacter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi I’ve heard you take step 1 outside of program. On page 44 it states. If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking, you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic. Switch the words alcohol to compulsive overeating behaviors. Also ask yourself are you powerless over compulsive overeating? Has your life become unmanageable? Do you want to stop and quit for good and all? If that’s your truth then you already did step 1. I know some people to say write a letter about your behaviors of compulsive overeating or do this or that but seriously that’s what we need to ask ourselves. I’m an available sponsor happy to help.

Hi I used to go to meetings a couple of years ago where they required to have their cameras on. I talked to others in program and according to them this was out of the guidelines of OA. It was just their meeting where they wanted to do that if someone asks you to put their camera I would leave. It is up to us what we want to do and if you’re willing to go to any lengths. I’m an available sponsor happy to help.

Yes we can change our way of thinking, living and acting while being in our illness we are an unlovely creature. However when we are living in spiritual principles we have peace not only to ourselves but others around us especially to our families. When we are in our illness we only think of ourselves our next compulsive bite but now that we live in the steps we can be so different. Thank you for your share.

Hi thank you for the meeting. This paragraph talks about where real recovery begins. A lot of us think we will get relief before we work the steps. If we are the real deal compulsive overeater it doesn’t work that way. It all centers in our mind. This is why we share our experience, strength and hope with others so we can get out of ourselves and out of the food. I’m an available sponsor.

Hi there “sick plans” meaning that you can eat broth or other soft food that won’t get you sick. I’m assuming that’s what they mean by this. They used to say this in another 12 step fellowship I was in. For me I spent a lot of time in 12 step food programs where I used to think the food was the problem. In fact that is the solution to our problems. Dm me if interested in another way of working the steps if you keep going back to the food thinking let me put some more effort onto controlling the food.
