How OA Changed My Life Recovery Uncategorized Changes Ever Since By admin Posted on January 1, 2020 1 min read 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr I came into OA about thirty years ago and have been abstinent from sugar and white flour for twenty-four years. Since becoming abstinent, I’ve had: No more cavities—from age 7, I’d spent hours in the dentist’s chair. No more debt—I’ve learned that contentment is enjoying what I have, not getting what I want. No more locking myself out of the car or sitting on my glasses—I now think more clearly. No more depression—I’ve learned that my purpose in life is “to be of maximum service to God and the people around us” (Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th ed., p. 77). Most importantly, I have learned that I have a God who “could and would . . .” relieve my food obsession “if He were sought” (Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th ed., p. 60), and he did! — Carol
