For Today - Fears Getting in the Way of Hope

We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes. - John F. Kennedy

What do I want? How do I get there from here? Why am I holding back?

About Me

Here, I go by Kara to maintain my anonymity. Anonymity is one of the key traditions of 12 Step Groups, including Overeaters Anonymous (OA). It reminds us to place principles before personalities in our recovery.

My personal story of recovery is one of continued growth. I tipped the scales at 325 pounds at my highest weight in November 2013. Since then, I have lost weight, regained some, gained some physical fitness, gotten hurt, healed, and most importantly, started to see The Promises of 12 Step Recovery in my life and my relationships.

While I have learned a lot about nutrition and exercise in my journey so far, OA is not a diet or weight loss program. It is a spiritual program which changes lives. It is for people who want it, not need it. I need it. I also want it.

I am happy to hear from you if you want to reach out. I can be found at kara140714 (at) gmail.com.

If you would like more information on Overeaters Anonymous, please see www.oa.org. As an organization, OA is indebted to Alcoholics Anonymous, whose members have helped themselves, millions of alcoholics as well as the many other 12 Step members who suffer with other addictions. If you are one of us, you are welcome with open arms. Hugs!
