Addiction & Recovery

Just so you know the truth, I once weighed 210 pounds...I have gotten rid of lots of the bad stuff.......
....I was at the doctors office two days ago and weighed 152..with my clothes and shoes on.

.....IF I DIDN'T GO TO OVEREATERS ANONYMOUS, I WOULD BE DEAD AND NOT WRITING THESE WORDS. I am 78 years old.
(I lost the weight when I was 44 years old in 1980..and kept it off most of the time)

.............and willing to work the program and work the steps,.........SAVED MY LIFE..............oh...ONE THING MORE:

..........I AM NOT PERFECT..BUT CLOSE TO PERFECT. (I RARELY OVEREAT ANY MORE..JUST ENOUGH TO STAY AT THE LOW 150s ..and pray often...

I think about my sponsor all the time, and call him often...(and today I went for two walks (20 minutes each about 1 1/2 miles).

..............Tomorrow, he is going with me to the doctor's office for major surgery...... (if I didn't lose the weight, I wouldn't be eligible for
.............the life-saving surgery.)

...............And I guess that is what is called ...."Reovery"......
