I'm Carrie, and I'm a compulsive overeater also. ::Hi Carrie!:: I don't know your history with OA. I've been "in" almost 7 years, JC is also my Higher Power. I've considered visiting Celebrate Recovery but haven't ever actually done it. I am very active in my OTHER 12 step program (blessed, blessed, blessed I am....) and because the CAUSE and the SOLUTION are one and the same (only the SYMPTOMS differ), I hope I've got it covered.
Anyhow, about "finding abstinence"...what are you supposed to do TODAY? Just do that. Don't worry about anything else.
There...that's my unsolicited non"tradition"y advice!
Nothing is impossible when you turn it over to HP. You put me and food in the ring and *I* alone, will lose every time. Now, with HP in the ring....it's an entirely different matter. This sounds pretty nebulous, but I know, for me, it = doing what I'm supposed to do today, being transparent with my sponsor, letting HP have the rest.
I believe you can do it!
