The joy of the holidays is simply sharing simple things with those you love.
The holiday season can be a minefield for anyone battling compulsive eating and food addiction. In this episode of OA RISE, Trish and her fellow speakers dive into their tried-and-true methods for staying abstinent during the holidays. They kick things off by reminding us that the opinions shared are personal and not representative of OA or OA RISE as a whole.
The heart of the discussion is the nine tools of recovery, which include having a food plan, sponsorship, meetings, writing, literature, anonymity, service, and a plan of action. Interestingly, the group finds the telephone to be one of the most challenging tools, especially for those who struggle with communication or have past traumas. Yet, they highlight the importance of reaching out for fellowship and support during these tough times.
The conversation also touches on the true essence of the holidays - sharing simple joys with loved ones and finding peace. Personal strategies like bookending, calling a sponsor, and praying are shared as effective ways to stay on track. They also emphasize gratitude and mindful eating, encouraging listeners to transform negative thoughts into positive ones. The episode wraps up with a hopeful note, urging everyone to find ways to connect with others and stay strong through the holiday season.
