Once we have fully acknowledged our fatal powerlessness and have come to believe that there is a solution, however, the third step is simple. ~ The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous (Kindle Locations 244-245).
Step One: We admitted we were powerless over food —
that our lives had become unmanageable. That's the start
without potential fatality.how does the powerlessness
become fatal? When we move to Step Two and talk about a need
to be restored to sanity? About a Power who takes us from One to Two
then Three.We've learned by then of food compulsions not being
the safe, legal addiction. Perhaps we've heard John from Los Angeles
or others say they're in both programs and have lost more friends
to food addictions than to Alcohol. But as we truly work the program,
we know what we've done to our bodies, where we're headed
if these Steps don't work, and we have faced the idea of lethal powerlessness,
and we understand how powerless we were hope hopeless we'll be
if we fail to keep coming back until the miracle happens!
