I learned very quickly that I must surrender to a power greater than myself if I wanted to be relieved of my binging and purging.
Ever wondered how surrendering can transform your life? In this heartfelt episode of OA RISE, Clodagh, Lindsey, and Erin P. open up about their paths to recovery from compulsive eating. Each of them has a unique story, but they all share a common theme: the power of surrendering to a higher force and embracing step one of the Overeaters Anonymous program. Clodagh's tale begins with her joining OA in 2007.
She describes her early days as a constant struggle with binging and purging, likening it to a never-ending Groundhog Day. It was only when she accepted that she needed help beyond herself that she found relief. Clodagh shares how the OA community's love and support cushioned her during her free-fall moments, ultimately leading her to 13 and a half years of abstinence. Lindsey and Erin P. echo similar sentiments.
They delve into their battles with self-control and the endless cycle of compulsive eating. Their stories highlight the importance of step one in the OA program—admitting powerlessness over food and finding strength in a higher power. Both women discuss how spiritual healing and self-acceptance have been crucial in their recovery journeys. But it's not just about overcoming food addiction. The trio also touches on navigating life's challenges, relationships, and grief through the OA program.
They emphasize the significance of the support and camaraderie found in OA meetings and how serving others has given their lives new purpose. Tune in to this episode of OA RISE to hear Clodagh, Lindsey, and Erin P.'s inspiring stories. Their experiences offer valuable insights into the transformative power of surrender, the importance of community, and the journey to self-acceptance.
