All,

After speaking with Danika, she needs to discuss starting the meeting on-site again with Pam. Of which, she will do tomorrow, Tuesday at the latest. I was at least able to confirm that our materials are still on-site, but keep an eye out for the final post regarding on-site for this upcoming Sunday, tomorrow or Tuesday.

Jeremy

All,

Sorry for the late post, but please reference the following for tomorrow’s EBG meeting @9:00am PDT for 11-Jul-2021:

One Day At A Time

HONESTY
"Our lives improve only when we take chances ~ and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.”
Walter Anderson

After the initial shock and realization that I am a compulsive overeater, it transpired that in order to recover, I had to get honest. This was -- and still is -- a painful process for me, yet it is an essential step towards my recovery.

First I had to admit that I wasn't in control of my life and that recovery couldn't be achieved unaided. As with most revelations, this was an uncomfortable truth to behold. I was also prompted through honesty to stop blaming everyone else for my unwillingness to help myself. I had to find conviction in my actions and not just emptiness in my words.

I conceded that I am not as perfect as I would like to think. I make mistakes and sometimes slip from the path of recovery, but with honesty comes acceptance that I am only human. This disease would deceive me into thinking that I am a failure when in fact it's my actions that have failed me.

Like a magician who performs illusions for the crowd, this disease would have me think I have committed unforgivable sins. Honesty is the key to my recovery; it unlocks the chains that have imprisoned me for so long. It allows me to recognize my weaknesses and turn them into strengths. It turns simple existence into life ~ and inner-conflicts into outward serenity.

One day at a time...I will be honest with myself.
