Hello ladies! So nice to see you on here and to be checking in. Welcome musiclaydo! Abstinent 3+ months now and working with a sponsor daily now for about a month. I did what you suggested Felicia, I let my sponsor come to me, a gentle breeze and there she was. I commit to my abstinent today by the grace of God. I put…

Hi I’m back on here after cold and catch up. Still grateful for my food plan and it continues to serve me. I’d like to be more relaxed about it but not completely there yet. That will come with time I think. Found someone at a meeting that I will ask to be my sponsor. She has what I want, has kept over 200lbs off for 15…

I'm under the weather but answered prayer for my losing abstinence today and the tools of this program. I am grateful for my daily reprieve from this disease and the gift of my HP's boundless grace. Happy Abstinence!

Happy abstinent day! Late in getting my full food plan on paper, now completed. Whew - better when I write it all before I start my day. Just getting to my reading and writing and more deliberate praying. However, did pray for my abstinence first thing. :)

Happy road to destiny ... busy weekend for me. Thankful for my food plan and the willingness to take time today in the am to pray, read and write. I had to change up my plan for food today but it all worked out. I am so grateful to not be rigid yet be able to have the tool of a food plan fully support my having a losing…

Going to my regular Friday F2F meeting. I'm looking forward to it. Often there is a speaker. I'm watching my sodium trying to keep it right around 1500 per the doctor to bring down slightly elevated BP. Losing the excess weight should also make a big difference. I am not at a point where I need medication and I am trying…

Hi @GrokRockStar is your name Felicia? I think I saw that at the bottom of one of your posts. I can't find a message from you in my gmail account, spam or inbox here on MFP. I sent you a message via MFP. I hope you get it.

Great face to face meeting last night. I may go again tonight. Grateful for my food plan and that today I am willing to take the time to plan my food ahead of my day. Typically, I would not take the time to plan and my food would become whatever was easy and fast. Although, I would typically choose something healthy-ish,…

Good Afternoon all! Grateful for my food plan today as the great tool that is is for me. Grateful that I can turn my abstinence over to my HP and pray for his guidance and protection throughout the day. Just had a little tiff with my hubby which used to automatically drive me to the kitchen for something soothing. So…

Thank you @SenchaJill I so appreciate your share. This group is so great and very helpful. @GrokRockStar I couldn't find a private message from you anywhere. I looked in my emails and don't know where else to check. I did get the sponsor list from Stacy. I have reached out and waiting to hear back. I am so grateful for my…

Hi @GrokRockStar and @SenchaJill, Can I ask are either of you available to sponsor by chance? I am stepping up to wanting to be accountable in my program and not to do this alone. I really love how you both check in daily about your recovery and what you have to say.

thank you @SenchaJill. I so appreciate you sharing. Checking in regarding my abstinence and food plan. I said the first three steps, prayed to my HP and said the 3rd step prayer this morning before starting. Committed my plan before breakfast and off I am on my way to another abstinent day with God's grace. My daughter…

I am grateful for this group to commit my abstinence today and my desire to put my recovery, my program and my abstinence first today. MFP is really working for me to plan my food each day when I awake. I have tried to use it a few times before but it quickly became more like a diet for me and this really threw me off. I…

Hi GrokRockStar and Jill! Wow, I just came on the group and was so happy to see your posts to me and your posts in general, and very glad you are here. What a nice, intimate place to check in. My MFP-OA place. Delightful! The woman I asked to sponsor me isn't sponsoring right now but we had a great conversation. She shared…

Hi luvluv good morning!

Thanks GrokRockStar! I just called and asked someone from my Friday night meeting to sponsor me. I had to leave a message but very happy that I was brave enough to take that step and not afraid of rejection or whatever her answer is. That is such progress for me. I have fears around sponsorship; being engulfed, doing it…

Hi, this is Nancy. I just joined this group. I'm back to going to OA in-person meetings after being away for about a year. I'm fairly new to MFP. So glad to see an OA group on here. Thanks for being here.
