This daily reader contains inspirational quotations from Overeaters Anonymous literature along with the experience, strength and hope of Overeaters Anonymous members.
This is a better written Overeater's Anonymous meditation book, using quotes from the OA literature rather than literary references. It seems better edited than the Overeaters Anonymous Just For Today and is usually pertinent to my recovery and cogent in the meditation. Occasionally some of the Judeo-Christian god concept shows up but not as in-your-face as the JFT is. A helpful recovery tool.
As someone who struggles with compulsive eating, I was looking forward to this book, anticipating stories I could relate to. Many of the stories feel extreme or unrelated to the problems I have faced. Rather than comforting, reading this book made me question whether any of us are actually experiencing the same thing or not.
Literature is essential for keeping me in the solution. The daily readings are wonderful way to start my day and give me a good guide for my prayer and meditation.
