I did. It was insightful and the other people there made it very easy to talk to them.... I never got a sponsor because before I could our group stopped meeting for some reason. But yea I would say go and take total advantage of all you can from it. Good luck.

Yep. Good support, good people, good message. You can work it from any angle, so give it a shot.

I would agree the the previous comments. My experience is you have to work the steps to glean the rewards.

Thanks for the encouragement! I am going to go... What can it hurt? Me by not going, and that's it!

Glad to hear it. You just gotta take the leap of faith sometimes, and like you said, what will it hurt? :)

i am bulimic and a recovered alcoholic. i really want to go to oa meetings cause there are no eating disorder groups around here. i havnt tried it yet. let me know how you like it. i guess i havnt gone yet for fear i dont belong there.

Pepper, ANYONE belongs that may struggle with food addiction. The group is typically structured so you read from a book of affirmations. People don't usually have free-reign speech, so it's a comfortable setting. After you read from the book, you can add how your week is going, how the reading pertained to you, etc.

But the main thing to remember is that nothing you say about food will be wrong- obsession over it is scary, no matter what your medical label.
