I am 49 and live in NJ. i have tried to eat well and not over eat but never seem to be able to stay on track for very long. I am 5'1 and 165 pounds. I got down to 150 but never more than that. I am small boned and really should be 125. I have eliminated sugar from my diet and cut down on the white carbs in general. But my hunger still takes over. I am a recovering alcoholic of almost 30 years but that was easy compared to this. (I got sober at 19). Hoping to find support here to help me get back on track.

    Hi! I would suggest listening to the following recorded OA meetings where the speaker does both AA and OA. She gives her phone number in the recording so you could call her about getting a sponsor who does both AA and OA.

    She does a fantastic job explaining all 12 steps in four meetings (1 hour each) so anyone cal listen and learn a lot!
    Call 605-562-3132 Access code 674599#
    Reference numbers:
    9# she speaks about steps 1-3
    10# she speaks about steps 4
    11# she speaks about steps 5-9
    12# she speaks about steps 10-12

    Good luck! Feel free to message me if you have questions.
