Dnf somewhere post-page 76...

I started this book back in 2017 & recently picked it back up. When you start to skim a book, it's time to let it go. Some things I resonated with while most just lost my interest or seemed repetitive.

Breaking from this book as well. Will be finished sometime in the new year.

ETA: I finished this book and decided not to rate it, because I'm unsure how to do so. This kind of book, to me, is more like an informational pamphlet in book format.

I think this book would be a helpful, quick read for anyone who wants to know and better understand the foundation on which Overeaters Anonymous is built, while also learning about twelve-step programs in general.

I'm going back and forth between OA and AA literature. It is such an adventure, and they are so full of gifts.

idk how to give this a rating. it's obviously the AA 12 steps but with "compulsive overeating" instead of "alcoholism." some of this translates better than other parts: for instance, does anyone really need to make amends for what they did while they were hungry? but then again, I do get pretty hangry. all jokes aside I'm sure it depends on the person. and this has been a super helpful program for tons of people so it was interesting and educational to read.
