“What sets OA apart from the diets, clubs, and other programs for compulsive overeaters? A faith in a Higher Power that will restore me to sanity. And that Higher Power can be anything I choose it to be. I can choose God as I understand God, not as my parents understand God, or my community, my friends, or even my sponsor. It is my understanding that matters, no one else’s. God comes to each of us in the way we can best understand. I need no formal ritual, no structured prayer to talk to my God today. I need only believe that God is with me, and God is here. I talk to God today as I do to my best friend. I seek guidance, ask for strength, and most of all, I say “Thank You.”
