Anonymous (Step, Speaker, Into Action Meeting, Oct 2018) - a podcast by OASF

Anonymous' share from the Saturday morning Step, Speaker, Into Action Meeting includes the following themes: recent weight gain • closing bookend • what I was like: miserable • age 4 to 8: framework for fear, dishonesty, & reliance on manmade junk food • history of employment & rapid weight gain • daily suicidal ideation • OA seed planted • finding 1st OA meeting • on 8 medications when joining OA • newcomer & immediate abstinence via Tools of Recovery • 1st time getting noticed by others • home-free from compulsive overeating (pretending to be powerless) • relapse for 7 years • a history of relying on crutches • letting go of the final crutch • Tradition 7: fully self-supporting declining outside contributions • moving out of San Francisco • facing uncomfortable feelings (there’s a gift on the other side of the uncomfortable feelings) A century person is an individual who has lost or needs to lose 100 pounds or more.
