and became willing to
make amends to them all.

Inward Peace
Never be in a hurry; doeverything quietly and in acalm spirit. Do not lose
your inward peace foranything whatsoever,even if your whole world
seems upset. Command all
to God, and then lie stilland be at rest in His
bosom. –St. Francis de
Sales.

Promise 8: Our whole
attitude and outlook uponlife will change.

I go to this page (ForToday, page 357)
throughout the year tofind inward peace when my life is turned upside down. Sometimes I shed a few tears
when I read this, and I know that my HP brought me to this page to help me heal. I
may need to heal for physical, emotional, or spiritual reasons, but this reading
always gives me what I need at the moment. This is true for many of our Overeaters
Anonymous pieces of literature. I can find peace in what I read and remember that I
am not alone in this disease called compulsive eating.
A spiritual life is what I seek today. I have been in this program for over twenty-one
years, and I am still learning and growing in the program. I have released over 100
pounds and what I am grateful for is my spiritual awareness and inward peace. I
didn’t come into this program seeking a spiritual life, but I found it. My gratitude isoverflowing and my soul is filled with love. I didn’t know I could love myself so muchand be happy most days. God has given me this life and I am overwhelmed by His
grace for me.
I do not want to lose this inward peace I have found, and I know that the OA
program is the key to keeping the peace I have in my life today. I will always giveback to this program for as long as I can. I will face life’s challenges with help from
God and my OA family. I know I cannot do this alone and I don’t have to today. Life is
beautiful and my outlook is clearly a spiritual path. I rise up every morning and give
thanks to the God of my understanding.
For Today: The twelve-step program might well be called a set of instructions forfinding – and keeping – inward peace. –For Today, page 357.

Step 8: Improving Our
Relationships

Step 8: Made a list of all persons we had
harmed, and became willing to make amends
to them all.

In Step Seven, we ask God to remove our defects of character. In Step Eight, we begin to work on our relationships withothers. Our goal is to have the best relationships we possibly can with everyone we interact with. The process of steps
eight and nine help us learn how to repair relationships, or to at least try to repair relationships by accepting responsibility for the damage we have done to others, and to learn to move forward with healthy new relationships – notrepeating our mistakes of the past.
To do this we must examine our behavior closely. We work with our Higher Power to “become ready” to communicate
honestly with those we have harmed. We use our fourth step inventory to make a list of everyone that we owe amends
to. Like all of our step work, it is important to discuss this list with our sponsor or a trusted mentor. We want to assurethat we are making amends for the right reasons. People with compulsive eating patterns have difficulty withrelationships. We often blame our compulsive food behaviors on others.
If you are a “people pleaser” like I am, you may want to make amends just to get the approval of a person you feel nolonger thinks highly of you. This is not the reason we make amends. We make amends to right our side of the street, tobe free of the negative feelings related to knowing that we have hurt someone else. We want to make things as right as
we can. Sometimes the amends is obvious – like paying back money we’ve stolen or expressing our regret to someone
for hurtful statements we’ve made.
Often, we are making amends toward persons whom we’ve felt long-term resentment. There may be people on our list
we do not feel ready to have an amends conversation with yet. It might take some time and more self-examination for
us to get to the point where the amends is honest and heartfelt. We ask our Higher Power for the willingness, and theright attitude. We pray and meditate on these issues. Making our amends list and working on becoming willing to makeeach amends is the work of step eight. We are improving our ability to have healthy and honest relationships withothers. What an incredible opportunity we have in this step to understand ourselves better and improve our ability tohave healthy relationships.
— Lucy B.

Fighting Reality“Real humility about our character defects carries with it acceptance. We accept that each defect, as painful to us as it
may be, is a part of who we are. With humble acceptance we can quietly say to our Higher Power, ‘I am this way; andonly with your help can I change.’ ” p. 53, The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous, Second Ed.
Before recovery, I spent a lot of time fighting reality. Whether I was blaming the circumstances of my life, other people’s
defects or my own, I was never happy. When I fully embraced the 12 Step way of life, I learned that it was possible toaccept things as they are, whether I agreed with them or not. But I also learned that change could be part of theequation. For example, in Step 6 I discovered many things about myself that needed to be changed. Too often I foundmyself acting out of the defects of selfishness and self-centeredness. I was coached to stop beating myself up andhumbly ask my Higher Power and my fellows for help. I learned that I could pray for the removal of the defects andvisualize how I would act if I no longer had the defect.
Sometimes I just “acted as if” and practiced the opposite of the defect. For instance, when I wanted to impulsively say
something, I kept quiet. Or when I wanted to send a snarky text or email, I paused and prayed, and waited until a latertime. I’m able to work Step 7 more effectively if I continue to do my nightly review for this keeps me in touch with mycharacter defects, thus reminding me what to pray for and where I need to behave differently the next day. I’m nevergoing to graduate from this program, but if I work diligently, I can get better and become more useful one day at a time.
Thank you to my Higher Power, the 12 Steps, and the OA fellowship for making this possible!

Tradition 8: Workers

Tradition 8: Overeaters Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.

When volunteers can, they do the work of OA, but there is work that volunteers need help with and jobs that needskilled workers. Usually these special workers are paid office workers so the phones are always answered and the texts
and emails at World Service get a response, or any large OA office can function. Their jobs include mailing out information and books, editing and proofreading OA literature (under careful supervision!), doing accounting, plus all sorts ofjobs from cleaning to window washing. OA members can be hired to do these jobs.
No one is ever hired to start a meeting, to lead a meeting, talk to a newcomer, write OA literature, run a workshop orlead a retreat or conference. Only experienced OA members can do that; people who have the disease and know thepain and despair of it, and the joy and peace of recovery.
— Patience M., Gainesville FL

Promises: We Think Not!

Promise 8: Our whole attitude and outlook uponlife will change.

Talk about an extravagant promise!! My WHOLE attitude and my whole outlook on life WILL change. No equivocating
here. I would be a little more comfortable if it said “part” of my attitude and outlook on life “might” change.
When I arrived at OA I heard these promises and my immediate reaction was, “That’s nice for you all. But this cannot
apply to me.” Is this an extravagant promise? I would immediately think, “I think so” and the crowd would gleefully
shout, “We think not!”I’ve spent my entire life working very, very hard to change my attitude and outlook on life. When I looked in the mirror
and said, “That’s it! I’m changing today!” I truly meant it…until I didn’t. Something would happen that would make it
acceptable to get back into the food. My attitude would be, “Well, I failed at this” or “They don’t love me” or“Everything is going great, so I must be a normal eater.” And just like that I’d be back in the food.
In the course of my life, abstinent or not, there WILL low spots. There will be disappointments. And before I fully
conceded that I was a compulsive overeater of the hopeless variety, I suffered under the delusion that I could fix me, if
only I tried hard enough. This outlook on life was normal for me. This outlook on my life kept me in the darkness.
So how on earth am I supposed to change my “whole” attitude and my “whole” outlook on life? I have failed over, andover, and over again!
Upon completion of the first 8 steps, and before I was halfway through with my 9th step amends, it occurred to me
that I cannot change my whole attitude and outlook on life…but my Higher Power can!
What a gift. When I admit to my innermost self that I cannot combat food, and that my HP could if I only let Him, mycompulsive eating problem was solved and abstinence came. So, as I walk the path of OA and follow the 12 steps, I
realize that if I ask my HP to help me solve other problems, He will.
So, after many years of attending OA, I began to participate. And, to cure those character defects that fueled mynegative attitudes and outlook on life, I needed power. Yes, lack of power was our dilemma. So honest participation inthis beautiful program showed me the way to a whole new attitude and outlook on life came through belief in and a
reliance on a Higher Power.
The program implored me, paradoxically, to surrender, and ask my HP to help me solve my problems. Living in this newattitude of surrender -- fear became faith; dread became hope; resentment became forgiveness; and selfishness
became service.

And More Promises
Here are some other promises in Big Book order with a few comments (see last month for the first installment). Notethat the promises are generally conditional. One needs to work the program for the promises to come true in our lives.
There Is a Solution“But this man still lives, and is a free man. He does not need a bodyguard nor is he confined. He can go anywhere on thisearth where other free men may go without disaster, provided he remains willing to maintain a certain simple attitude.”Yes, I don’t need to panic over going to a restaurant with friends, or what might be served at my book club. And if food is
calling to me, it’s probably as important to check my spiritual attitude as my food plan.
“What seemed at first a flimsy reed, has proved to be the loving and powerful hand of God.” I can’t…
“A new life has been given us or, if you prefer, “a design for living” that really works.”“…all of us, whatever our race, creed, or color are the children of a living Creator with whom we may form a relationshipupon simple and understandable terms as soon as we are willing and honest enough to try.” My e-copy of the Big Book
only gives 96 references for willing/willingness.
“Those having religious affiliations will find here nothing disturbing to their beliefs or ceremonies.” As someone who wasvery committed to feeling disturbed (restless, irritable, discontented), I can let go of irritation points.
“There is no friction among us over such matters.” Perhaps ideally, but at least we have a method to resolve friction.
“Many who once were in this class [agnostic or atheist] are now among our members. Surprisingly enough, we find suchconvictions no great obstacle to a spiritual experience.”— Mark W.

Dear Abby: Overeaters Anonymous is still doing the hard work
July 11, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.
by Jeanne Phillips
DEAR ABBY:
I recently watched a video of the founder of Overeaters Anonymous, Rozanne S., telling the story of founding the
program and her own struggles with food. In it, she mentioned that your mother had been instrumental in getting OA
information out to the public and was responsible for its growth.
Abby, OA saved my life, and I’m grateful to Rozanne and to your mother. After 39 years in the program, I have released
120 pounds from my top weight. I’m now at a healthy weight and have been for most of 39 years. Beyond the weight
loss, I have sanity, freedom and healthy relationships in my life. I came in only to lose weight, but the clarity I derived
from working the 12 steps is the most important thing I have ever done in my life.
I’m glad I didn’t have to rely on a drug to help me lose weight, and I found that working on what’s inside helped to makethe outside a normal weight. My only regret is that more people aren’t aware of the program and still believe thesolution is to “just lose the weight.”
In the introduction to my first OA book, it said, “Thin will not make you well, but well will make you thin.” Today,I lovemyself as I am — something I never thought would be possible. — JOE A. IN HOUSTON, TX
DEAR JOE:
Thank you for your sweet letter. I remember my mother’s interest in Overeaters Anonymous and her respect for its
founder. I once had the pleasure of meeting Rozanne, a lovely woman, as well. As I’m sure most of us know, people havebeen known to eat for reasons that have nothing to do with physical hunger.
The introduction of weight loss drugs has hit like a tidal wave and, for some, it has been like a miracle (so far). However,for those wanting a more conservative approach, or who cannot tolerate the side effects of these drugs or afford thecost, Overeaters Anonymous may provide a successful path to weight loss.
There are more than 6,500 OA meetings worldwide, in 77 countries. This includes 2,500 virtual meetings taking placealmost any time of the day from other locations around the world. Readers, if you’re interested, you will find more
information about Overeaters Anonymous at OA.org. Like any 12-step program, there’s no membership fee, but
donations are welcome.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline
Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
