Recovery Literature
Reading recovery literature helps us to understand and reinforce our
recovery. It focuses us on recovery and away from
cravings, restlessness, and boredom. It helps move us from the problem
into the solution. Recovery literature and books are an ever
available resource that provides us insight and believable hope on our
journey of growth and healing. Many OA members find that when read on a
daily basis, the literature further reinforces their recovery and
continues to bring new meaning to living the Twelve Steps.
When our sponsors are unavailable, our support network can't be
reached, and no meetings are currently scheduled, we can always turn to
our recovery literature.
Dave recommends the following recovery books:
- Overeaters Anonymous
- The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous
- Alcoholics Anonymous (The Big Book)
-
Inner Harvest (Hazelden Meditation Series)
- ABSTINENCE (Members of OA share their Experience, Strength, and Hope)
|
Note: In
OA, the term, "abstinence" is often used to describe the act of refraining
from compulsive overeating. |
Recovery literature put out by other Twelve Step organizations, nutritional experts, and publishers that specialize in recovery literature can also be an excellent source of help and information.
