Around ten days ago a family friend brought up the topic of Overeaters Anonymous whilst we were sitting round one of our first campfires of the year. Although I was aware that there were many variations on the 12 Step programme of Alcoholics Anonymous I had never heard of Overeaters Anonymous. However, as she was explaining compulsive eating I realised that the condition could apply to me so I decided to find out more.
Some Googling soon led me to the OA GB website. I did a bit of reading here which confirmed my thought that OA might be for me. I downloaded the AA Big Book for Kindle and looked for OA meetings. Although there didn't seem to be any face to face meetings which I could get to there were loads of online meetings. Looking for more information about how to join one of these meetings led me to an email discussion list which I joined. I have also now attended a couple of online meetings.
Some of the people I have spoken to have recommended keeping a journal. I originally considered using Google drive , as I think I am more likely to keep an online journal than a physical one. However, then it occurred to me that using Blogger would let me tag my posts which then would facilitate searching later on which might be useful.
