Mo, member since 1989, identifies as a compulsive overeater. Mo's share from the 2019 Unity Day event includes the following themes: together we can • hang together or die separately • eating while isolating • honesty is the beginning • if you leave the rooms, we can't help you • together we can do what we cannot do alone • a "we" program • sweet tooth grew at age 13 • physical allergy & mental twist • supporting & being supported • OA H.O.W. • food: doing for me versus doing to me • alcoholic (food) torture • trying to treat the physical & mental with a diet • have a burial service for your food • focusing more on business side of OA than on Steps (relapse) • the emotional side of the brain always defeats the intellectual side • alcoholic death versus spiritual life • Step 0 & admitting defeat • service takes away physical pain • pick up the food or pick up the Steps • Tools of Recovery are the handrails to take the Steps • 10th Steps
H.O.W. is short for Honesty, Open-mindedness, & Willingness. For more information, check out https://how-oa.org/about/
