We now have a new reaction when we face a problem or a decision, whether it has to do with food, life or our own runaway emotions. All we need to say is: God, please help me do your will.
Imagine reaching a point in your recovery journey where you decide to hand over the reins to a higher power. In this episode of the Recovery Crone Podcast, the host delves into the significance of Step Three in OA, Alanon/ACoA 12 Step Recovery. Step Three is all about making the conscious decision to turn your will and life over to a higher power, a move that can profoundly change how you approach decisions and challenges in life.
The host shares that for many OA members, this step marks the beginning of true freedom from food obsession and the compulsion to overeat. However, this newfound freedom isn't a one-time deal; it demands continuous effort and dedication to the remaining steps. One key point the host emphasizes is that spiritual guidance in decision-making doesn't mean every thought is divinely inspired.
Instead, it's about having the willingness to trust in a higher power and seeking help to make choices that align with that guidance. The episode also touches on the concept of abstinence and having a plan of eating in OA recovery. Abstinence here isn't about rigidly sticking to a specific food plan but rather surrendering to the guidance of a higher power. This means food plans can evolve as your circumstances and nutritional needs change.
Throughout the episode, personal reflections and experiences are shared, highlighting how turning one's will and life over to a higher power can transform not just eating behaviors but one's entire outlook on life. The host discusses the importance of personal prayer and the commitment required to live by God's will alone. By tuning in, you'll gain valuable insights into the ongoing journey of recovery and how spiritual guidance can play a pivotal role in decision-making.
Whether you're grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers inspiration and encouragement for anyone navigating their path to recovery.
