Sometimes I think this blog is the only thing that makes me keep track of the days.
I've been in OA since the end of October 2015. I got to my highest weight of 277.8 pounds in January of this year. I'm now down to 265 pounds. I find my OA meetings very therapeutic and look forward to going to them. I'm doing step work right now. I just finished the second step, and I wanted to share something. The second step is "Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity." The question is, how do I define that Higher Power?
"I consider that HP God, but the loving God that created the world and continues to watch over His creations, not the vengeful God who sent the floods and the plague. I believe He listens to our prayers and grants them in His way, even if that's not the way we're asking for. I believe He brings people in our lives whom we need, or who need us, at that time, even if they don't stay around forever. I believe He is forgiving of our sins if we truly seek forgiveness."
It felt cathartic to write down what God is to me. At first I just stared at the lines on the paper, wondering what God is to me. I was drawing a blank. Then I just shut off my mind and started to write. When I was done, I was pleasantly surprised by what was on the paper. I think I'm going to share it at Monday night's meeting. We're going to be step two that night.
