And life goes on….with or without GOD! It has been a very trying last couple of weeks. I am hanging on by a thread and still abstinent, but feel, even that is in jeopardy for each and every day that I shut God, OA and my family out of my life. Sometimes when I am in the clutches of real life, real pain I get through it by the grace of God but come crashing down in the aftermath! Well to make this longer story shorter now!

We Belong, We Belong Together | A 40-Something Fool's Journey
https://innerpilgrimage.wordpress.com/2014/03/23/we-belong-we-belong-together
A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. March 23, 2014. We Belong, We Belong Together. I have an intense desire to belong to something greater than myself. This isn’t against human nature. I, and every other person out there, evolved to be like this. Currently, I’m reading two books: why we believe in god(s) by J. Anderson Thomson, Jr., MD, and Clare Aukofer. And Create Your Own Religion by Daniele Bolelli. I want a cold reading. Food Addicts in Recovery.

Here I am God. I am Jeannine, a compulsive over eater recovering One Day at a time by the grace of my God! I can’t control my compulsions that take over my being. And I know that YOU can….yet I chose to ignore you thinking I can do this better than you. Proverbs 1 tells me the same thing Start with God he won’t turn his back on me. Don’t turn a deaf ear on God. He is there all the times when you needed Him most and I have ignored Him because I thought I could handle my life without Hi...Here I am God.

I am Jeannine, a compulsive overeater recovering one day at a time by the Grace of God. 8220;We will love you until you love yourself.”. After being in the OA program for 5 years I still don’t feel the love that this passage describes. I know they say they care and love me…and they show it by asking how I am . This passage describes exactly how I feel – “. This entry was posted on August 29, 2012 and tagged 12 steps. Give my food to God! My doubt in my Higher Power became obvious to me.

My Weekend to Remember. I am Jeannine, a compulsive overeater, recovering one day at a time by the Grace of my God! September 4th…….This last weekend was very hard for me.

https://keepitsimplejn.wordpress.com/2012/08/27/give-my-food-to-god
Give my food to God! My name is Jeannine, I am a compulsive overeater recovering one day at a time by the Grace of God. One day I realized my lack of faith when I looked down at my plate, feeling an overwhelming sense of fear and panic. There was not enough food! My doubt in my Higher Power became obvious to me. Since then I put my food and faith in God’s hands and my old enemy, the disease, weakens on a daily basis. This entry was posted on August 27, 2012 and tagged 12 steps of OA. Here I am God. A mem...

Brutal | A 40-Something Fool's Journey
https://innerpilgrimage.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/brutal
A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. July 22, 2015. I have to be brutal today. Brutally honest with myself and with anyone who reads this who suffers from compulsive overeating disorder or is in relapse from her or his program. I am in lost in the thick mental haze of compulsive eating today, and it is a horrible place to exist. Why would I do this if I know program works? I was unhealthy, losing my hair, sallow-skinned, constantly tired, but I was thin and...

A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. March 24, 2014. A Sole-Weary Woman’s Instep with A Barefoot Wanderer. I read today’s entry from Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life by Joe C. Today’s entry is about the story of runner Christopher McDougall, who wrote the book, Born to Run. What am I running to? What am I running from? When was the last time I ran just for fun? Moving Myself Instead of Mountains. Is this how love is expressed by the supernat...

A Whole Lot of Changes in a Short Period of Time | A 40-Something Fool's Journey
https://innerpilgrimage.wordpress.com/2014/03/22/a-whole-lot-of-changes-in-a-short-period-of-time
A 40-Something Fool's Journey. Holding a Lantern Up to Painful and Beautiful Truths. March 22, 2014. A Whole Lot of Changes in a Short Period of Time. I get intense anxiety when I face off with huge changes in short periods of time. These changes get me looking at myself, what I am trying to control but cannot. What I had with it. Oh, it may have been stress-inducing, but my hope at the initiation of a transitional period caused more anxiety and more pain. It definitely isn’t about having a taste o...
