The 12 Steps

http://www.oabigbook.info/

"The following is an adaptation of a Step Study I did

online in the summer and early fall of 2005.

I’ve been in OA since February 11, 1986. I started

working the steps and lost weight, then relapsed,

then lost weight, then relapsed.

Finally someone in the rooms confronted me (I’ll talk

more about that in Step 12) and I discovered a meth-

od of working the steps that has worked for me. I

became abstinent, worked the steps, and achieved

the miracle of being freed from the foods that used

to beckon to me, being able to be around them

without wanting them. That has been true for me

since some time in May, 1993.

It took me about a year, as I look back, to achieve a

healthy body weight, and I’ve maintained that body

weight since that time. Beginning in March, 2005, I

began to lose more weight for reasons I’ll talk about

later."
