I cant say this is my recovery date, as I have not recovered from Over eating. This is a starting point in my journey to recovery. There will be ups and downs. I am 50 years old, but I have 2 birthdays according to my doctor. My real birthday is in November and the other birthday is in December. Let me explain. In 2009 I was diagnosed with end stage congestive heart failure. My only hope was a heart transplant. From August 2009 till December 2009 I was in the hostpital. I lived there, never left. In December I received the Gift of Life, and that, according to my heart transplat drs and surgeons, December 14. 2009 is my heart birthday.

Who is in the mirror?

I find myself looking inward over the past few days, and to be honest I have no idea who I am seeing in the mirror.  I see an adict, a lyer, thief, and many other horrible things.  Finally reaching the point of being sick and tired, and wanting to see my old self again I called my doctor today and for the first time, I admitted to having a problem and to see what options I have.  After a bit I found out they will send me to a outpatient clinic where I will be given medication to help with the problem, also I will attend meetings, drug test, and even a shrink to help with other issues which

WHOO HOO!

So glad I found this place. I am looking forward to gaining comradery with like minded folks who are actively working on the 12 steps in order to over come their addiction with food. I am a new member of Overeaters Anonymous. I am working on step one. I am hoping to find others that are doing the same.

 

PEACE!

 

I'm still chained with my own shackles of addiction.

This is my first time posting. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right either. So excuse me if I'm wrong. 
I've never been to a NA meeting. I want to go but am scared to go alone. I know until I do then ill never get a sponsor nor will I find my recovery. Yes, I'm still an active user. I don't want to be. I miss my 14 month old daughter and want to see and hold her. I'm tired of being a slave to heroin. 

Amazing

A sober life is truly amazing.

Welcome learning.to.lose, 

We hope you reach your goals. Everyone of us need a good food plan. 

I just saw a good movie on netflix that made me very motivated to stop dieting and start eating right. I believe the movie is called "food matters".

This is a new beginning for me.  I am involved in AA so I will apply the same tools to this as I learn to accept myself and change my relationship with my phsyical self.  I have always struggled with weight my whole life and my goal is to be healthy.  I don't want to die of diabetes like my mother did nor do I want to sit on the sidelines of my life,especially since I have an active five year old.
