Finding Strength in Vulnerability: Meagan F's Journey with OA Step 1
Transformation is only a result of desperation, like I have had no transformation in my life until I am willing to admit that I don't have all the answers and maybe to be teachable, right- that I don't have all the answers other people do.
What does it mean to truly admit powerlessness over food? Meagan F. opens up about her raw and personal journey in this episode of the Recovery Crone Podcast. As a compulsive overeater, Meagan found herself trapped in cycles of sugar addiction, binge eating, and the relentless pursuit of perfectionism. Through the Overeaters Anonymous (OA) 12-step program, she discovered the liberating power of vulnerability and the necessity of asking for help.
This episode centers on Step 1 of the OA Rise Workshop, where Meagan discusses the importance of honesty and being teachable in the recovery process. She candidly shares her struggles with shame and control, and how she learned to lean on the support of others who have walked similar paths. Meagan's story is a testament to the transformative power of desperation and the incredible strength found in community.
Whether you're battling your own demons with food or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a heartfelt look at the first steps towards recovery and self-acceptance.
