Hello, this is my first post here, just got the premium... I have been in and out of OA for several years, but I have been back for almost two months, have an awesome sponsor and have lost over 15 LB's and have been clean abstinence for more than a month. Joined the Gym and have been working out ever since, feeling pretty good right now and I am on the pink cloud!!2

Good evening, OAers - I'm checking in at the end of my day, grateful for another day of abstinence. I'm relieved that the urges to compulsively eat have been lifted for me - for today.1

Checking in at the end of the day - grateful for my abstinence. I'm appealing to my hp for guidance, and relief from obsession, in these coming days while I will be out of my routine with extended family - all focused around food. Grateful for my fellow OAers, and wishing you all food sober days on this Thanksgiving holiday.1

I am going to be joining my local OA soon. I've finally realized that my overeating is out of my control and I need to treat it as what it is -- an addiction. I am glad to see this group on MyFitnessPal and hope to be a regular participant.1

Welcome, Brettbabs! Many people who came before me posted lots of useful information on this MFP group. It has helped me enormously to bring an OA perspective to using this MFP app.
And, I consider this app to be a useful tool in keeping me honest about my food.
My recovery comes through OA, and I am so grateful for a program of recovery.1 -
I also welcome you Brettbabs, its great to have someone here who is also coming to the OA group. I find checking in and reading how others are doing is very much a benefit to my own recovery and I hope it adds to the hope and strength of others too. I'm admitting my personal powerlessness over food this morning and my gratitude for those who are here on this same path One Day at a Time abstinent from compulsive eating. One sober hour is the start of recovery.1

Checking in at the end of an abstinent day. This was our Thanksgiving meal day, and I ate more, and other than, my normal foods. But I remained abstinent as I did not have flours or sugars, and I did not snack throughout the day.
Grateful for OA recovery.1 -

It's a good time of year for me to use all of my available supports for my recovery.
To that end, I'm pledging my commitment to my abstinence today, remaining free from sugar and compulsive eating. Grateful for a program that has restored me to sanity.1 -
Gratitude is hand in hand with humility I heard. So grateful for the oa steps of living today and this place to voice and share a daily commitment to abstinence and recovery. Sanity! I like how you mention that Jill, it puts a good thought into my mind that without these steps I believe sanity would be illusive for me.1
