The weight loss is a total gift and it's a blessing, but there's other changes that are even more significant that have occurred in me since I started working the OA 12 Steps.
In this episode of OA RISE, Alana takes the stage to share her journey and insights on breaking the cycle of addiction as outlined in the Big Book. Alana, a long-time member of Overeaters Anonymous, begins with a heartfelt prayer and an engaging introduction, setting the tone for a meeting filled with personal stories and practical advice. She reflects on her own experiences with compulsive overeating, providing a relatable and honest account of her struggles and triumphs over the years.
Alana’s story is divided into three parts: her personal journey, the cycle of addiction, and a workshop on two-way prayer. She explains how she has maintained abstinence since 2007 and discusses the transformative power of the 12 Steps. One of the standout moments is when Alana describes her early life struggles with food obsession, offering a candid look at how deep-rooted these issues can be.
In the second part, Alana delves into the cycle of addiction, using a diagram to illustrate her points. She emphasises the importance of recognising this cycle and taking actionable steps to break free from it. Her approach is both compassionate and practical, making it accessible for anyone grappling with similar issues. The final segment focuses on two-way prayer, a practice that Alana credits with significantly enhancing her recovery.
She guides listeners through the process, providing clear instructions and encouraging everyone to give it a try. Her passion for this practice is evident, and she shares anecdotes about how it has helped her maintain a strong connection with her higher power. Alana's authenticity and wisdom shine throughout the episode, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking support and inspiration in their recovery journey. Whether you're new to OA or a seasoned member, her insights offer valuable lessons and hope.
