--Previous Message-- : My name is Marlene and I am a woman of : many addictions, but my goal for : today is abstinence and faith. Today : was somewhat better than the last : two weeks have been. I know that : this journey is going to be a : difficult one but I am prepared not : for perfection, but rather for : success. I am a woman who allows : food to occupy my time and space in : my brain. Food is much more : difficult to overcome than alcohol : because I need food to sustain life : and there are no f2f OA meetings in : my area. I do attend five f2f AA : meetings weekly so I try to combine : all my addictions into a twelve step : program. My problem with my : addictions are stopping the habit : once I start it. I seem to be : easier at starting rather than : stopping though. My need to eat : compulsively and drink alcoholically : are just the symptoms to a much : deeper problem and that problem is : accepting me for who I am. I do not : know how to be good to myself, since : I feel I do not deserve to be happy. : Why do I feel this way? I do not : know the answer to this question but : hope that I will find it soon, since : it is the key that will open the : door to abstinence. I need to : discover who I am without fear….This : is my goal for the new year. : Dear Marlene, Welcome to the Recovery Group. We hope you will check out our online meetings and our online recovery groups. You will find them listed here: http://www.therecoverygroup.org/ Welcome Home !! Love in service Patt
