  • How do we work this program?
    Through Honesty Openmidedness and Willingness

    I've heard of fellow memebers who have started long years of binging and misery off of something as simple as a few extras of their "safe" foods.
    Honesty does keep us accountable
  • yeah. starting with honesty with myself. i've gotten good at not noticing what i don't want to see. between the tools and the literature and the people who support me, God has several ways to show me things that i'm hiding from myself.
