I was invited to speak at the Bay Street Newcomer Meeting, Wednesdays at 7:00pm.

Zoom Meeting ID: 830 0871 6331

At long last, our part two on the topic of Anorexia & Restricting. In this episode we focus on Anorexics & Bulimics Anonymous' focus on the powerlessness over control.

I should clarify that ABA's first step is: We admitted we were powerless over our insane eating practices—that our lives had become unmanageable. However, if you read the literature, the focus becomes powerless over control. 

For more information on the Anorexics & Bulimics Anonymous program, visit their website at ABA12Steps.org.

Also, I have a PDF of chapters 1-7 from their 12 Step book:

ABA Ch 1-3 and Ch 4-7.

You can find the book on their website or several online bookstores. 

This morning our planned speaker had to cancel due to illness, so I stepped in. In a very jumbled manner I touched on 5 different 12 Step programs for food and how recovery can create a secure attachment. 

Here is the YouTube video on Secure Attachment that I reference.

In part one, Stacy, Mattie and I talk about why we want to have this discussion and touch on topics we want to explore further in part 2. (Apologies for the poor sound quality!)

New Year's Eve recording of speaking at the Saturday 10am in-person meeting.  

I had a wonderful conversation with my friend, Mattie. Together we talk about her experience being a trans woman in the 12 step rooms of recovery.  

I feel beyond grateful for my recovery and for yours.
