Great for OA Basics
I started doing online Overeaters Anonymous meetings and joined an OA "mail loop" about a month ago, and needed some basics about the OA program, because although I was getting help from the OA online sources, I had a lot of questions about how OA works. And other things -- how could I ever deal with holidays and traveling without overeating, how to explain to my doctor, friends and family that I wasn't dieting per se, but rather dealing with my compulsive overeating problem, etc.
I've read this book from cover to cover TWICE now, and each time I find answers to new questions I didn't even know I had.
Jim A. essentially shares his own experience but also talks about OA's history, the steps, what "abstinence" is, and why the program works so well.
A terrific guide -- and one I'm sure I will refer to over and over again!

It has given me hope.
This book gave me a new understanding of what overeating is. I always thought it was a lack of will power and never had a full understanding of what I was doing to myself. It has shed a new light on things, I have faith that I can recover too. Similar Products
