My sponsor at OA was reading the Big Book with me. It was moving along pretty slowly and of course I'm impatient. I was hoping to see some progress by now since today was my one month anniversary at OA.
Theres a gal at the Saturday morning meetings that sponsors also, so I thought I'd ask her abpit sponsoring me. She told me she sponsors on the HOW program which, from what I understood was a stricter or more stringent branch of OA. She explained that I would have to commit to my food every night, call her everyday and I will have to do some writing every night and make outreach calls. She wants me to see my dietician on Tuesday and we would work out a food plan, etc. Well she told me to think about it and call her at 5pm with an answer. I was really scared about it at first, but then I realized, it's exactly what I need! I need that kind of discipline! So I called her today at 5pm and told her I would do it!
This is a HUGE step for me! But I feel I need to do this...especially after today, we read the second step, "Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity" That's what I need, to be restored to sanity. I AM insane around food! I'm insane when it comes tp my eating behaviors. It's time for a change! I still plan on reading the Big Book with Wendy and learning the steps thst way as well! Here I go....
