If the blind lead the blind both shall fall
into the ditch. - The Bible Matthew
From diets to designs for living. I
looked for directions to anyone and
everyone who appeared to have
solutions to my problems. But instead
of answers I found new andsometimes worse problems, and in
the end I lost a little more of what self-
esteem I had.
I found independence when I came to
Overeaters Anonymous. The self-
honesty this program teaches enables
me to trust my perceptions and listen
to me feeling. I am no longer attracted
to people who would have me believethey know whats best for me. My
Higher Power is the only source from
which I seek such knowledge.
For Today: If I dont know which way
to go, I turn the problem over to God in
steps three and eleven, completely
confident that the answer will come. I
may discuss the matter with my
sponsor and others whom I trust, but Igive myself time to learn what God
would have me do.
Step Three
Made a decision to turn our willand our lives over to the care of God
as we understood Him.

Lucky Me
One of my worst character defects has been the tendency to think,
Im the only one, which leads to self-pity and negative thinking.
To my unending surprise and delight, in OA I often find myself thinking,Im like that, and I get such a warm feeling when I can Identify.
I believe I have undergone a complete personality change during the
five years Ive been in OA. When I look back and remember what I
Was like and how ineffectually I coped with minor frustrations, I see that
I was like a child.
Although I am aware that I will never stop growing, today I feel comfort-
able. My weight is acceptable to me, and so am I as a person. I like
myself. (Ive come a long way to be able to say that!)
I can be aware of character defects I have yet to eliminate without
feeling I must do it right now. I am learning to give and receive love,
and I am able to retain friendships. I can cope with pain and embrace
life without escaping into food. Oh, the freedom that brings, and the
self-respect!
I am making progress, not only emotionally, but spiritually too. My
spiritual growth seems to be slower, but I can feel the strength it brings
to my life. Just not having to run the whole show is a great relief to
say, God, its in your hands, and to feel the peace and serenity.
My abstinence is mostly good. When its a little shaky, I have many
sources of strength to turn to: meetings OA friends, telephone calls and
program literature.
Each day, I try to remember to be grateful, which I truly am. I am
grateful for my life and my health, for being who I am and for the wisdom
I have gained. I feel comfortable and life is an exciting adventure.
I remember well the poor me syndrome brought on by thought of
being the only one These days, having people to whom I can relate
in so many ways invariably makes me think of myself as lucky me!
