Customer Reviews: There is a solution May 28, 2008 Bokadella 8 out of 8 found this review helpful The 12 steps of Overeaters Anonymous is a book that teaches you to live your life today what ever your size is. Overeaters can be the slim ones as well as the ones with overweight, they suffer the same way! It is not what you are eating it is what is eating you. After walking the steps with a sponsor I am now free of this sick compulsion. I read this book all the time and go to meetings. You can find your meeting at [...] It works if you work it Anonymous in Iceland Healing emotional hunger one step at a time May 14, 2005 M. R. Estante (North America) 56 out of 56 found this review helpful Before the image of an OA meeting being filled with obese people fills your mind ... think again. An overeater can be anyone ... fashion model ... successful accountant in a size 8 ... fitness trainer ... midly plump dental assistant ... anyone. The causes and reasons are different. Overeating is not a lack of willpower but an emotional relationship to food that has someone not know when to stop. Eating is natural, overeating needs to be addressed so as to protect our very health. This wonderful "bible" for Overeaters Anonymous helps those in recovery work their healing one day at a time. Whether at a meeting, or in a personal inventory, or in working with a sponsor ... this contains elements of surrendering our will power to a higher power. Whether you believe in God or not, the notion of not having to do this alone is a welcome relief for many caught in a viscious circle of emotional medication through misuse of food. The concept of a higher power enables someone to be open to group support and feel the possibility of living a healthier way. This book is a program that is not a quick fix, a diet, or anykind of body makeover technique. What it provides is a way of thinking and living that addresses the root of using food as a drug. This book is a lifesaver May 4, 2003 35 out of 35 found this review helpful Not much else to say, but that I use this book on a regular basis and consider it fundamental to my recovery from compulsive overeating. It's a challenging book and seems to grow in meaning as I grow in understanding! Excellent March 2, 1999 44 out of 52 found this review helpful This is an excellent book for people who are addicted to compulsive eating. If you use the principles of OA in your daily lives, you will be able to stop eating compulsively and lose the excess weight.
