I was 5 years sober the Navy sent me to treatment for chronic obesity. First time I lost weight (40 lbs) I fasted - that worked. until. The next time - was for 55 lbs -- Then 67 lbs. My sponsor tricked me into service where I kept moving up really connected with OA as an organization. Roseanne's ability to adjust who OA is for showed me I can adjust what I think as new information comes in. I That helped me be a dad learning as I went on.  OA has helped me kind and loving to myself and others which has allowed other to feel good about themselves and brought them closer  rather than making them feel small, wrong and pushing them away. Today I start every day with gratitude towards my higher power that helps keep my heart open all day long.
