I always want to be profound but I have to remember it is not about me.

 I came in in 2003 after weight  loss surgery. Since I was already loosing weight I did not embrace OA right away. Half measures at best.

After 7 months I started gaining.  Then I became desperate and honestly worked the steps. I got into service bit if you called me at home I wouldn't answer.

It did not hold and I eventually went into relapse until 2021.

I heard the BAA Big book should be read like a text book. My recovery really started when I embraced that. 

My mother was a huge part of my recovery, 4th, 8th, 9th steps were transformational.

Going from I cannot stop,
