Awesome and Highly Recommended! January 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this book to help me understand what OA is. Sometimes you go to a meeting, and in the beginning - it feels like you have a million questions that may go unanswered. OA is the best thing that has happened to me in 2007, as I have been on my recovery path for the past 10 months! This book is very thorough, and answered all my questions. In the beginning, I was SO ready to understand, and make the commitment to myself and my recovery. This made it that much easier for me. I continue to use it as a point of reference today with other literature. This isn't an OA book persay, but written by an OAer with a great deal of recovery and helpful insight into my addiction to food. This is a great tool!br /br /ODAT!

A Fantastic Book April 9, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful

I don't usually write reviews about books, but I felt obligated to write a review for this one. The book not only gives great advice about eating, but also great general advice for everyday life. The book is well-written and reads like a novel. I highly recommend this book.

Great for OA Basics August 16, 2003
54 out of 54 found this review helpful

I started doing online Overeaters Anonymous meetings and joined an OA mail loop about a month ago, and needed some basics about the OA program, because although I was getting help from the OA online sources, I had a lot of questions about how OA works. pAnd other things -- how could I ever deal with holidays and traveling without overeating, how to explain to my doctor, friends and family that I wasn't dieting per se, but rather dealing with my compulsive overeating problem, etc.pI've read this book from cover to cover TWICE now, and each time I find answers to new questions I didn't even know I had.pJim A. essentially shares his own experience but also talks about OA's history, the steps, what abstinence is, and why the program works so well.pA terrific guide -- and one I'm sure I will refer to over and over again!

This book gave me a new understanding of what overeating is. I always thought it was a lack of will power and never had a full understanding of what I was doing to myself. It has shed a new light on things, I have faith that I can recover too.
