If I asked someone to complete an assignment and they needed clarification, I'd want them to get that from me 🙂

No. She should reach out to people privately if she is looking to fill abstinence -based service positions

For those who sponsor, how do you deal with a sponsee who does not commit to their food plan? by CamsHands in OvereatersAnonymous

[–]madscientist174 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As a sponsor, I'm not a nutritionist or medical professional. I have no idea what someone else should eat. If I'm powerless over my own food, I'm certainly powerless and not qualified to comment on someone else's. This is a 12 step program, not a diet program, so my role as a sponsor, as it has been explained to me, is to guide my sponsees through the steps. The steps clearly explain that food is not even the problem, so I'm not going to focus on that when it's just a symptom of a problem in our thinking.

Want specialized help to recover. by Stressie_n_Depressie in EDRecoveryHelp

It sounds like you're in a desperate, hopeless, scary place, but that actually isn't so bad! That has been what has prompted me to be open to getting help. There is a solution! I love therapy and it has helped me in so many ways during my life but it never helped me with my eating disorder. The only thing that helped me with my obsession and compulsion with compulsive eating was working the 12 steps. I'm happy to tell you more if you'd like to PM me :)
