T-Food For Thought

October 25th Abstaining From Harmful Relationships Habit sometimes locks us into relationships which are not in our best interest. It is easy to mistake dependency for love. When we stop overeating compulsively, we can evaluate our attachments to other people with greater clarity and perception than was possible when we continually escaped into food. Our OA & OH friends act as sounding boards for us as we try to sort out the healthy from the unhealthy relationships in our lives. We may find that for our continued growth we need to move away from old emotional entanglements which are hampering our progress with the program. Abstaining from a harmful relationship can be as difficult at first as abstaining from compulsive overeating! The same physical restraint is neccessary to keep ourselves from following old habit patterns. By taking Step Three, we make all of our relationships with other people subject to the will of our Higher Power. When God comes first, other loves fall into their proper places. Show me how to love.

Jeannie-Glad to see you online and posting. Tried to call you yesterday, but the call wouldn't go through. Did you make it through with no damage?

Hi Lynda! Oh that was sweet of you. Thank You! I made it through just fine. Just some branches down, that's all. I read that your block was the only one w/power. Thank God! How awesome! It appears you didn't have any damage either. Looks like we fared another one. Can't wait until the season is over. Jeannie
