Hello all!

my name is Jenni and I am a recovered available sponsor who sponsors directly from the Big Book of AA.

i say recovered because working the steps has helped me live a sane life—a life that no longer revolves around my food, my body image, my weight ALL THE TIME. I struggled trying diet after diet, all kinds of therapy, exercise, crystals, meditation, food plans, mindful eating, self help, exercise plans; I restricted, overexercised and taxed my body to the point of injury many times. I was often suicidal and wanted to die. My life was a disaster—I was in one failed relationship after the next, di satisfied with work, angry at everyone, at times both friendless and jobless. And I hated myself. All the time.

Today I work the steps and do practical actions to be of service to others. I get out of self in this way and it has helped relieve my compulsion around food/weight like nothing else.

This was my experience and its always a pleasure to share. I respect all peoples beliefs and means of recovery. This is just what worked and is working for me.

If anyone out there would like to learn more, or is seeking an OA sponsor, please reach out anytime! Id love to help: [contact info removed]

love
