"The truth that makes men free is for
the most part the truth which men prefer
not to hear."
Herbert Agar

I spent thirty-five years of my adult
life running from the truth. It wasn't
until I came to OA and began to work
through the Twelve Steps that I had
enough emotional support to turn and
face the truth. What is my truth? I am a
food addict.
Once I was able to face and accept that
truth, surrender to my Higher Power was
immediate. At long last I was free of
cravings, free of bingeing, and free of
obsessive food thoughts. That freedom
allowed me to work toward the goal of
becoming the person I had always wanted
to be.
The way I see it, I can be an addict in
recovery or I can be an addict in
hell. I choose recovery.
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
I will seek the truth in my life by working the program of recovery.
