If we are to experience permanent recovery from compulsive eating, we will have to repeat day after day the actions that have already brought us so much healing.
Patrick B.'s story is one of transformation and faith. In this episode of OA RISE, Patrick recounts his journey from battling type two diabetes and compulsive eating to finding spiritual healing through Overeaters Anonymous. His turning point came at the International AA Convention in Atlanta, where a recovered member of Overeaters Anonymous offered him a lifeline. Patrick realized that despite thinking he was living a spiritual life, he was far from it.
The real change began when he put down the food and faced the truth about his 'recovery ego'. He discovered the necessity of building a relationship with a power greater than himself. Through the support of the OA community and its literature, Patrick experienced a profound spiritual awakening. He delves into the steps he took and the benefits he reaped from repeating them, emphasizing the importance of prayer, meditation, and sharing deeply with others.
His story is not just about recovery but about finding strength and hope in spirituality. This episode is a beacon for anyone struggling with compulsive eating, offering practical advice and heartfelt encouragement. Tune in to hear Patrick's moving testimony and learn how spirituality can be a cornerstone in your recovery journey.
