“We don't say God in recovery”… WHAT?

from Living Life Unbinged with Kristy · host Kristy McCammon

Twenty years ago, while struggling with overeating, emotional eating, and constant sugar cravings, I decided to attend a meeting with Overeaters Anonymous because I was desperate to find freedom.At the time, something surprising had already started happening. After removing processed sugar and flour, the cravings were finally beginning to calm down. For the first time in years, my mind felt clearer and I was starting to feel hopeful.But during one of those meetings, something happened that I’ve never forgotten.While sharing about what I was experiencing, I mentioned God, and the reaction in the room was immediate. Someone gently explained that they preferred the term “higher power.” Members were encouraged to choose anything they wanted as their higher power so that no one would feel uncomfortable with religious language.That moment forced me to think deeply about where true transformation actually comes from.✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:The difference between a vague “higher power” and a personal relationship with Jesus ChristWhy many food struggles go deeper than physical habitsHow emotional and spiritual hunger can drive overeating and sugar cravingsWhy behavior change alone often isn’t enough for lasting freedomHow surrendering struggles to God leads to real transformationWhy faith can play a powerful role in healing your relationship with foodRecovery programs can offer helpful structure, community, and accountability. But for me, the freedom I was experiencing wasn’t coming from a concept or a program, it was coming from Christ.Because food addiction isn’t just physical. It’s often connected to the places in our hearts where we look for comfort, control, or relief.And when I brought those struggles honestly before God, something powerful started happening. Grace met me there. Healing began. And real freedom became possible 🩷Reflection question:When it comes to your struggles with food, who is your higher power, something vague, or the living God who loves you and has the power to set you free?NEXT STEPS🔥 Join the 7-Day Breaking Free From Food Addiction Challenge: https://lifeunbinged.com/qs-weight-loss-bundle/ 📖 Download the FREE Guide – Breaking Free From Food Addiction: https://lifeunbinged.com/breaking-free-from-food-addiction✨ Website: https://lifeunbinged.com📧 Support: [email protected] Make it a great day!Find me on social media:Instagram - @lifeunbingedFacebook - Life UnbingedTikTok - @lifeunbingedYouTube - @lifeubinged7371X - Life UnbingedThreads - @lifeunbingedPinterest - Life Unbinged
