When I reach out to someone who is also in recovery, I am telling on myself, I am saying to my support group: please help me, and help is always there.
Ever find yourself obsessing over that one irresistible snack? In this episode of 'Promise of Recovery', Lauren Lansrud takes us on a heartfelt journey through the minds of Overeaters Anonymous (O.A.) members. These brave individuals share their raw and honest experiences with food thoughts that can feel downright maddening. They talk about how a single bite of a trigger food can spiral into guilt and remorse, and how these thoughts might never fully disappear even in recovery.
But don't lose hope just yet. The episode highlights nine powerful tools O.A. members use to combat these obsessive thoughts. One standout tool is the humble telephone. Members explain how picking up the phone and calling someone in their support network can be a game-changer. It's about reaching out, 'telling on yourself', and asking for help when temptation strikes.
While the decision to indulge or not ultimately lies with the individual, the episode emphasizes the importance of working the program and leaning on community support. By the end, listeners are encouraged to dive into the O.A. program and discover the tools that can help them manage their food obsessions. Whether you're struggling with overeating or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and a sense of solidarity.
Tune in for a blend of personal stories and actionable steps towards a healthier relationship with food.
