Compulsive Overeating






I am emotional, but never realized it until I met my husband Jerry. I have never really learned how to deal with feelings of any kind...good or bad...they all turn into "hungry". In the past I tended to depend on my own intelligence which got me a long ways but will never get me happiness or abstinence. Arrogance is my number one character defect. I have been in program since 1990, beginning with Al-Anon, then a 4th step got me into OA. Sometimes I wonder if I should be in AA. Afraid to go there. My late husband of 30 years was AA. He died in 2005 and I re-married in April of 2009...just a newlywed!!!

Food. Wine. Sex. In that order. I do like going to church, meetings, love my sponsor of 7 years.

Lies. Lack of compassion in people. Road rage. Arrogance. Stinginess. Republicans (not all of them, just in pricipal)War, Glorified War especially

Hi, Pytwotl...

Hi Nancy, 

Nice to meet you.  Keep working the program...Alanon is great!   I'm coming up on my 1 year anniversary.  It is wonderful to speak directly with my Higher Power through the pains and healing of others in the program.


Peace,

Tom



I signed up for the online meeting Sunday night. I hope I can figure out how to do it. I am a food addict. I am also a people addict (Alanon) and have several social addictions (shopping, people pleasing, working) but right now I am going to overeaters anonymous meetings. I am newer at this website than you, but I have been in recovery, off and on, for 19 years.



I hope to get to know you better. I can listen if you ever want to talk or need a shoulder to cry on, but I dont have answers anymore than anyone else. Higher Power is in charge of answers.



Take care,
Love and Hugs,
Nancy
