Bobby (Century Meeting, June 2018)

Bobby, member since 1986, identifies as a compulsive overeater,
century person, and recovering bulimic. Bobby's share from the
Tuesday evening Century Meeting, includes the following themes:
"the college years": 9 meetings/week as newcomer • coming to OA to
die • anything white, I take to (sugar, rice, bread, cocaine) •
270-280 lbs/bulimia/drinking/doing drugs: a commitment to abuse •
practicing the 3rd Tradition perfectly • freedom & humility •
no such thing as relapse • stick with the winners/win with the
stickers • OCD • fake it 'til you make it • 1st abstinence (1st
plan of eating) • acceptance & gratitude • prayer • 20 years
bulimia-free • 18 years of abstinence • normal eaters can't do OA
perfectly • putting on weight after injury (god's cruel joke) •
free of refined carbs • prejudice over being fat • progress IS
perfection • Acceptance Prayer A century person is an individual
who has lost or needs to lose 100 pounds or more.
