You are reading from the book Food for Thought Fellowship Compulsive overeating is a lonely activity. The more we eat, the more we isolate ourselves from other people and the more alienated and different we feel. We need people, but we do not like ourselves, and we fear that others will reject us. What a relief to find a group of other people with the same problems and feelings! We are accepted, understood, and loved. We find that we are not so different after all. The OA fellowship exudes a sense of warmth and support. It is a safe place to put aside masks and express honest feelings. There is healing and strength. Meetings and retreats have given many of us a deeper experience of belonging than we have found anywhere else. We are all accepted as we are and where we are in our personal development. No one tells us what to do in OA. Through the fellowship, we learn what has worked for others and we find relief from our loneliness. Bless our fellowship, Lord.
