Step 3 – AOAN

July 31, 2020 • 1 Comment

Step 3 – As Often As Needed I have learned that turning my will and my life over to God is not a one time event. I’ve heard some people give talks and say that it has been like that for them–a one time, flip of a switch, deal. But for me, for whatever reason, […]

Beyond Food Addiction

April 10, 2016 • Leave a Comment

In 1991 I wrote a book entitled He Did Deliver Me from Bondage.* I originally wrote it with the intention (assignment from the Spirit of the Lord) to demonstrate how the principles in the Twelve Steps could be used to bring a person, one step at a time, down into the depths of humility and […]

And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ,… Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him… (Omni 1:26) Here, in this verse, is the entire answer to freedom from compulsive behavior for me. This is the whole solution to changing my heart. My heart […]

Drunken, and Not with Wine

March 16, 2016 • 4 Comments

This morning, as I sit down to write today’s entry for this blog, I see in “hindsight,” as they call it, just what good might be coming from having “gone off the deep end” over the last four days.   I can see that in this condition, I can write to you out of the midst […]

Unhealthy Eating is an Addiction

March 2, 2016 • Leave a Comment

Phil (my husband)  just left.  He’s gone into Logan to run some errands.  I stayed home and gratefully.  It’s very cold outside–about eight degrees!  That’s what the  weather service says, anyway.  Even if it’s twice that or  even three times that, it would still be way below freezing!  No thanks.  Not for this California born gal.  It’s […]
