    Sencha, I'm happy you are finding a freedom from coe. What do you do to attain it?

    Hmm - my post didn't post, I guess.
    Hi Gamliela and all - keeping my OA recovery in my mind helps me. I go through this checklist:
    Powerless ✔️
    Believe in a power greater than me can help ✔️
    Ask for help, turn it over ✔️
    Then I commit my intention to be abstinent, and log everything.
    Keeping sugar and flours out cuts my urges.
    Best to all, Jill

    I'm powerless over coe. I'm accepting help from a Power Greater than myself today.
    logging everything.

    @KnitOrMiss good to see you again, even though there are only a few of us I find these check ins are good. I get to know others in the oa program and without that I would be isolated in my problem, there aren't oa meetings near me.
    Today I'm logging and joining Jill for another coe, sugar and flour free day!
    Best wishes all.

    @Gamliela - Even if I'm not posting, I make a point to read these posts when they come up. I'm the one clicking like on your status posts and such! :) I'm in a less than stellar phase for myself right now. Cost is preventing any decent food options, which ends up triggering binges and poor choices. So I'm just doing the best I can and surviving until a better time.

    I send all of y'all good thoughts every single day! :)

    I didn't realize there was activity here, great! The more places in program that I connect to, the better!
    I'm pledging to remain on plan for the next 24 hours!

    Busy day yesterday and exhaustion, I stayed abstinant but woke up in the night and ate nuts and plain yogurt, so not perfect. Back today pledging abstinance, admitting powerless and logging everything.

    Finally feeling more normal after relocating but still, remembering my powerlessness over food, logging and checking in, and asking help from the One who has All Power.
    Wish everyone a day free from coe.
