After massive growth in the last year, it was time for me to start
going to Overeaters Anonymous (OA) meetings.
Went to my first meeting this morning.
Listened to an extremely eloquent woman talk about having eating issues
since childhood. It was a tour de force
15 minute spiel. Turns out that they
started out with a mini-speaker meeting.
After that, I went to some AA for almost an hour and then went to NA
for 75 minutes. It was all packed
together in a ridiculously convenient 3 hours at a place five minutes from home
at the Belllevue Alano (both “a-lan-o” and “al-a-no” are used, I prefer the
former) Club. That was a great way to
start my week. I will continue to do
that in the future.
I am grateful to live in a community and region with strong
participation in 12-step programs. A
meeting isn’t any good when I am sitting there by myself.
