Connections Made, Lessons Learned at the OA Convention

Published with permission from 2 recent attendees to the Colorado OA Convention…

Hi Anonymous,

What is Overeaters AnonymousI met you at the OA Conference in Denver and got your card. I just wanted to know what the convention meant to you and what miracles or struggles you have been experiencing since the conference.

The conference was so amazing. Often when I get home I am on such a high because the week-end was so inspiring. Then when I get home and the real world sets I think that I have lost all of the good things that I got from the conference. However as I think back I am finding some great things continue to happen…

  • It is easer to be abstinent with the help of my HP and I never thought I would say that
  • I am on Step 6
  • I get new lessons each day. One example is that a person said that I needed to plan my food ahead of time. I thought, “No I don’t, I plan what I am going to eat so that I have the ingredients in my home. So, true to form, I realized that at the end of the day I would have too many calories. So today I planed my calories and am on tract. Yea.
  • My sponsor is helping me
  • I see new insights for my life each day

(…) Take care and have a great day tomorrow
