Large since I can remember. Joined OA in April 1989  no sugar since 2004 My eating kicked in after childhood trauma which I supressed untill 5 years into recovery  Food was not enough so I included drugs and alcohol as a preteen. in '89 I got a sponsor, did what she said  I kept my disease alive by overeating vegetables My last slip in 2004 was small but dramatic for me.  I was a devout athiest but eventually realized I needed some kind of higher power. Today - no sugar and not compulsive. Speak if asked. sponsor, make gratitudes list, work to keep my heart open I now ask if an action will aid or hinder my recovery and decide accordingly.
