Day 1

Hi All,

I am remaining anonymous here on Permission to Heal because I am in a 12 Step program called Overeaters Anonymous. OA's Traditions do not allow me to state my last name when sharing, in any kind of media, that I am a member. It's important for me to adhere to the Traditions because I do not speak for OA. There are no OA "experts," only people sharing their experience, strength and hope in refraining, through a spiritual program, from compulsive eating.

I am here because this is Day 1 for me. My goal in writing this blog is to gain the support of others in helping me, one day at a time, deal with my sugar addiction in a kind, compassionate way. Perhaps there are others out there like me who need the same support.

When I am not eating compulsively, my world is bigger, making way for more love, more support, and more opportunities for me to do service.

I am giving myself permission to heal.

All the Best,

Andrew A.
