Welcome!

This website is dedicated to my journey through the 12 Steps and how I found recovery from compulsive overeating.

My hope is that this space serves as a resource for other compulsive eaters, offering insight, encouragement, and shared experience.

I want to be clear—I do not speak for Overeaters Anonymous (OA). This is simply my personal story: the process of getting abstinent and the lessons I’ve learned since joining OA in 1998.

At meetings, I often joke that I haven’t had an original thought about the program since I joined. So much of my understanding has come from the wisdom of others, and while I can’t always remember who shared a particular idea with me, I’ll credit names when possible—unless it feels like name-dropping.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who has helped me on this path, and my goal is to pass that gift forward.
