Compulsive Overeater's
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I found the book to be absolutely fabulous! It has hit home on so many levels and has given me a lot to think about. It delves deep into your phsyche as does AA which it is founded on those same principles. But, the book is from a guy that has been through it and lives with it everyday. It is his journey through the process and afterwards. Also, I believe that I am building a much stronger relationship with God as I cannot do it alone!
excellent!

I've been in & out of OA for over 2 years, basically just "sampling" the program, but after I read this book, I realize I need to get back into OA for "real". 12 step programs will not work if you work them half-heartedly, and the author really drives that point home in this book. He breifly describes his overeating/dieting days, and the rest of the book he explains each of the 12 steps in ways a person can really understand, sometimes things you don't get from meetings or OA literature. He basically says that if you really have a problem w/ food, then to save your sanity & life, you need to really work the program. This may not be the book for your run-of-the-mill person who diets once in a while, & isn't crazed by food/weight, but if food/bingeing/over-exercising/constant dieting are making you crazy, this book is excellent!

I had no idea what was making me overeat and be miserable. Now I do and it is quite a relief.

Although not OA approved literature, it is well worth any OA'er reading. The author states that the BIG BOOK is still the bible, and he reads it often, but his book shows us overeaters the 12 steps from a compulsive overeaters perspective. Something he said helped me to return to program something like its not just another diet program, it's a "save your life program". AMEN
