OA talks about abstinence and I have struggled with that for about the last 3 to 4 weeks as I attend meetings. I have been looking for where I fit in and how I want this program to work for me and I think I am getting closer to knowing how I want this to work for me. I think I am finally to the point where I am ready to give abstinence, as I perceive it, a chance. I got half way through the day and actually felt much better than I have felt in several weeks. I have pretty much been on a sugar binge for about the past month. It is time to make some changes and I know feel like I am ready to handle the challenge.
