Everything I have learned has been through the 12 steps.

Topped out at 248 lbs. and 30 years sober. Now at healthy body weight.

After dinner my kitchen is closed!!!

In 6th grade I turned to food for comfort and got all the pain that goes with that.

I had been angry at God and threw myself into multiple vices.

I knew the 12 steps could work for food if I worked it. and I did.

Got sober, got married and good things were happening . .; so I ate my way up and doubled my weight in my marriage.

I know that to drink/eat is to die.

I left a class in college when I found I had to speak in front of the class. Today I share whenever asked. . Just one of the gifts of my program.

Commitments help me participate beyond what's convenient.
