Victor describes to us how from the very first time he had real food, he knew he was a compulsive oereater.  Food was always readily available and it wasn't frowned upon.  When he hit his bottom and finally came to OA, he realized that he needed to let go of his punishing Higher Power and find one that worked for him if he was to find recovery.  He did find that power greater than himself and has found spiritual, physical and emotional recovery.  Even with long term abstinence, he still has to work the program just as hard if not harder than when he first came in, but he is willing and does it on a daily basis.
