The phrase is "we claim spiritual progress" I thought my life would be wonderful if I lost the weight. I did it a bunch of times and my life was never perfect. I was in a car accident where being fat saved me. The whole thing scared me. In my first meeting I heard that there is a solution for way I felt on the inside. Since memorial day weekend 1983 I have had an abstinence of 3 moderate meals and no sugar. I used to eat anytime I had a feeling. I had to learn an alternative way to handle them. I had no social skill when I came into OA. Everything was defensive. I learned in OA in OA how to communicate without being angry. I am only as sick as my secret. something that happened 30 minutes ago. I need to talk with others. I believe acceptance is the key and I still work at it.
