Reply #25: I went to an OA meeting [View All]

[titoresque]

once. I never went back. I'm not posting this to discourage anyone from going to an OA meeting. Your experience may be differnet than mine.
I needed to talk and there were A LOT of rules. I can't remember all of them right now as this has been years but I do remember my contempt for almost everyone in that room. I wasn't ready at the time to get honest.
Anyhow, I found AA to be more liberating in my recovery. I was able to share and not worry about all the "trigger" topics that we were instructed to avoid at the OA meeting.

My point is that the 12 step program of AA can also be applied to eating disorders so if you find that OA is not for you please do not give up!
