P.S.:  We are qualified to give a lead after six months of abstinence, which is 180 days.  I asked my sponsor about this, and she wants me to have at least a year of abstinence before I start giving leads.  I agree.

Do you have to be at goal weight as well?  Why is your sponsor being hard on you - 180 is 180.  That is a hell of a lot of abstinence.

Great Job

I have around 160 pounds to lose to get to goal weight.  I won't achieve that in 180 days, which is six months.  I don't feel she's being hard on me at all.  I would like to give leads when I've lost a noticeable amount of weight.  That way, I will be an example of how well OA works, when you maintain abstinence.  After a year of abstinence, I feel I will have lost enough weight, as well as being more recovered from my food addiction.  I don't feel I'll be recovered enough after only six months.
