: Hello All,
:
: I haven't posted here in quite a
: while, but I've been struggling so
: much lately. I have been absinent
: from my trigger foods for well over
: a year now. Also according to my
: doctor, I should not lose any more
: weight, (need to adjust my food
: program). A few weekends ago, I
: binged 3 days in a row on only
: absinent foods. I was so full I had
: to sleep it off. (Can anyone relate
: to the physical stomache pain and
: "drunkeness" associated
: with consumming huge amounts of food
: in a short time?). So even though I
: have been abstinent from my trigger
: foods, I have had relapse in my food
: plan. As I'm reading OA literature
: for inspiration, I had read a story
: about someone who was abstinent with
: her food & plan, but was still
: food obsessed. Even though I am
: abstinent again with both the food
: and the food plan, I still have my
: "favorite" meals that I
: really look forward to, still save
: the best for last on my plate, still
: seem to overvalue food. I'm
: wondering if I should try to
: develope a "nutral
: attitude" toward food, or am I
: feeding into the disease. I am a
: food addict, but have also been
: bulemic and anorexic in the past.
: My highest weight was 350lbs., and
: I'm at a weight now that my doctor
: insists on not going below. Can
: anyone share their experience,
: strenght & hope regarding food
: obsession while being abstinent? I
: didn't think it was possible???

Dear Journee,
Abstinence is a gift that is
given by my Higher Power if I
am spiritually fit and improving
that fitness on a daily basis.
jsut by using all the tools but we need spiritual solution for the obsession
to be removed.
the steps then you realize that
the purpose of our recovery is
to be of maximum service to our
Higher Power and the people about
us....and to live out the spiritual
principles, emobodied in the steps,
in all our affairs...and then to
try and carry the message to those
who still suffer from this disease.
