Erin (Thanksgiving Marathon, Nov 2018)

Erin, member since 2017, identifies as a compulsive overeater.
Erin's share from the 2018 Thanksgiving Marathon includes the
following themes: pretty much born a compulsive overeater • food
was never enough • Thanksgiving: amateur day • silence for those
still suffering • need love, fellowship, & understanding about
food • Bill W. (AA co-founder) on Thanksgiving • Traditions • unity
& oneness can’t happen without the wholeness of OA • without
this (OA) work, life is exhausting • last drunk (a drink leads to a
drunk) • disease of amnesia • learn how to not interfere with other
people’s progress • daily FOR TODAY reading & 10-minute
meditation • hard to turn off the chatter • habit of complaining •
OA love: humble & imperfect, not neurotic & conditional • I
don’t run the show (responsible for footwork) • let gratitude in
& out
