Five Months Later - a New Twist in the Road

It is difficult to believe that five months have flown by since I last posted on this blog but the dates don't lie.  My Last post was on January 14, 2011 and here it is June 21, 2011.  Since last posted I have made a major change in direction.  I am no longer exploring the world of internet marketing.  I have become active in working with a local non-profit organization called Volunteers Without Limits in San Felipe and am helping several other non-profits set up their web sites and promote their causes.

Yet, the thing that brought me back to this page was a thought that I should write daily about my new commitment to follow the 12 steps of Overeaters Anonymous. 

This journey began last fall when I was invited to attend a "Women in Recovery" group at the local AA building.  I found a group of women all seeking to practice the 12 step program for a number of different reasons but none of the ladies present were there for the same cause as I ... because they were seeking freedom for a dependency on food.  Many were helpful and pointed me to good resources but the only OA person I met was only in town for a few days.

I even attempted to start an online group for a bit but I felt ill prepared to lead a group when I had not even completed the steps myself.

This week I read something that clicked on when I wrote the author, she responded and offered to act as long distance sponsor.  She shared a great deal of her own story and gave me links to additional material and for the first time, I think I am on my way.
