October 19 ­ Our Primary Purpose: Using the Twelve Steps on Life Problems




Overeaters Anonymous show

Summary: The Twelve Steps are our Program of Recovery. In this workshop, two members relate how working the Steps allowed them to turn obstacles into opportunities for growth when life presented them with problems. One OA member shares about how, through working all <a href="https://www.oa.org/newcomers/twelve-steps/" target="_blank">Twelve Steps</a>, she discovered her Higher Power, rebuilt her relationship with her son, and dealt with surgery on a tumor. Another member relates how she used each step to work through a life problem concerning a relative living in her home and how she made the decision to return the child to her parents. Both powerfully demonstrate how through using the Twelve Steps of Overeaters Anonymous, compulsive eaters can deal with any life issue without turning to food.
