One year abstinence in Overeaters Anonymous..
(same as a year sober in AA)

That is one year without any candy, chocolate, icecream, cookies, pies, cakes, and sherbet. no sugared drinks.
That for me is a miracle. Call my sponsor often, and pray every day. My weight is as it was a year ago.
While I still occasionally overeat, my abstinence could not have been accomplished with the program , my fellows in OA, and my higher power.
I am so greatful.

.................thank you all :grouphug:

Stuart G.

my sponsor, my friends in my 12 step programs, (I am in 4, OA, AA. CODA and EA)...and HP.

The sugar was just as hard as my addiction to drugs. In some ways, harder.. I am so greatful.
Just knowing you are here is very important to me, even though I don't vist so often.
We need each other..thanks for being there for me.
Stuart
