Holly-
I just wanted to welcome you! I am in AA for my alcoholism and for a time it helped me with my compulsive eating issues but I soon realized that I should try OA so I did, and I really enjoyed it--especially being with other people that understood, and that spoke openly about what happened to them and how they are getting better now. I don't go anymore only becasue it is a scheduling issue for me--there is only one OA meeting a week near me.
I have found that joining the "100 day OS" thread here has helped me a lot. It's checking in daily and learning a lot about myself and others. It's sort of like a meeting in and of itself. It would be a start-so come on over and join us!
