i had to take the first step before I joined OA. I knew I had a problem. I have a daily reprieve. I wake up and the work starts. Te 12 steps are about Ego reduction. Self help books, workshops or pictures did not help. I went to my first meeting,saw God on the wall and walked out. I did not come back for a year. I had amazing weight loss in the first 9 months. and realized I was on my way out without the steps. Through grace I surrendered and became teachable.

I now believe I was born an addict, regardless of my traumas. Life has thrown me a bunch of more challenges. The steps help me survive  and flourish in the face of new adversity that I face.
