In the rooms of oa, I learned that any food-related obsession or compulsion was just another manifestation of the disease.
Ever wondered how a simple meeting can change your relationship with food? In this episode of 'Promise of Recovery', Lauren Lansrud dives into the heart of Overeaters Anonymous (OA) and its transformative meetings. These gatherings aren't just about sharing stories; they're a lifeline for those grappling with food-related obsessions and compulsions. Lauren shares her personal journey, revealing how OA meetings have been pivotal in her path to self-acceptance and healing.
The third tradition of OA, which states that the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively, offers an inclusive and welcoming environment for anyone struggling with food issues. Through candid discussions, members find solace in knowing they're not alone and that their preoccupation with weight is a symptom of a deeper issue. The focus shifts from mere weight loss to building a loving relationship with oneself and connecting with a higher power.
Lauren's experience underscores the importance of these meetings as a space for mutual support and guidance. Tune in to hear how OA has helped her—and can help you—find self-love and spiritual connection.
