How the Steps can help

The Twelve Steps help keep us focused on recovery. They are simple, affirming, and practical. We find that the more we embrace the Steps as a tool for living the more we get out of them. Eventually we learn to practice the principles expressed in the Twelve Steps in all of our affairs. 

The Steps are an effective tool to help us gain insights and make those deeper changes that lead to a healthy and rewarding lifestyle. For those of us with psychological problems such as abuse and trauma issues, they may not replace the need for professional help and counseling, but they can be a powerful and empowering addition to it.

The Steps are a plan we can use to help us grow both spiritually and emotionally. Grow to the point that we no longer are in bondage to the illness of compulsive overeating.
