I am powerless over food and my life is not what I thought it would be, despite my best efforts. If I am unwilling to turn over my food, then there is a part of me that thinks that it's up to me and I got it and I don't need help.
Navigating the holiday season can be a minefield for anyone dealing with food addiction, but OA RISE offers a beacon of hope in this episode. Three speakers from Portland, OR - Megan G., Stacey, and Nicole S. - share their personal journeys and the vital role Steps 1, 2, and 3 have played in their recovery. The episode kicks off with Megan G., who talks about the pivotal moment she admitted her powerlessness over food.
Her raw honesty sheds light on the initial struggle and the liberation that follows this admission. Stacey then takes the stage to discuss how her understanding of Step 2 has evolved throughout her recovery. She delves into the significance of finding a higher power and how this belief has transformed her approach to sobriety. Finally, Nicole S. shares her daily practice of Step 3, emphasizing the importance of turning one's will and life over to a higher power.
The speakers don't just stop at sharing their experiences; they also provide practical advice for maintaining abstinence during the holidays. From following a structured food plan to reaching out for support and focusing on service, their tips are invaluable for anyone struggling during this festive time. They highlight the necessity of having a sponsor and continuously working the steps to stay on track.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for years, this episode offers a treasure trove of wisdom and practical strategies to help you find peace and maintain abstinence during the holidays.
