Show Notes
I was pretty normal as a child, athletic 6'4". Eating did not kick until my thirties going up to 360.
I had a family and kids, seemingly normal, however on my way home for a family dinner I would stop at multiple drive-thrus to pre-binge before going home to eat another dinner with dessert. I could hide the nags but not the smell.
A diagnosis of diabetes and a need to inject insulin sent me to a drive in. Another 4 years before getting to OA.
When I left my job for a 'Sabbatical' to focus on my heath the reality was my overeating became my full time job.
Jan 1999 admitted my addiction and my recovery in OA began at 400 LBS
I eventually got a letter from my doctor indicating I was diabetes free.
Today I have a sponsor and I am a sponsor.
