Literature Sets the Stage

I have been a member of Overeaters Anonymous for thirty-one years, and I have been receiving Lifeline magazine for as long as I can remember. I love our OA literature and make reading For Today and Voices of Recovery part of my daily morning routine, along with writing in my journal and practicing prayer and meditation.

In addition, each morning, I read one story from Overeaters Anonymous, Third Edition, and I just want to take a few minutes to write and express my immense gratitude not only to all the wonderful OA members who sent in their stories for this book but also to the caring members of the literature committee who spent hours reading all the stories. I can only guess how difficult it must have been to narrow the field down to those that were finally chosen for the book. I thank everyone involved for their awesome service, and I want you to know how much inspiration I get. It helps set the stage for my own recovery each day.

I’ll close by saying to anyone out there reading this: if you haven’t read Overeaters Anonymous, Third Edition, give your program a boost by picking it up.
