About Me
- Greg
- Its day 1 of 2013. Will this be any different than yesterday? That depends on the actions I take today. I struggle with many health problems, I teeter on the edge of self-destruction, can I pull myself back? My life is broken, and I need to find the strength and courage to fix it. My physical, spiritual, and mental states are in shambles from years of addiction and self abuse. Food is my main drug of choice and it is killing me. My body is slowly breaking down due to the food abuse. If I have any hope of seeing tomorrow I need to start taking actions now. I welcome you to follow me on this journey as I struggle to find my way, to silence the demons within me, and find peace and serenity in my life. I can do this IF I am willing to put the work into it. I will share my trials and tribulations, success's and failures. Perhaps I can find a way to save my own life, and if it can help someone else with the same struggles, it would make it all the better This will be a chronicle of my journey to better health, better life, and happiness.

peace sells.report.10.20.14
Good morning
My name is Greg I am a grateful,
recovering Compulsive Overeater and addict, I was abstinent
yesterday.
I am finally starting to feel a hair
bit better after 4-5 days of a bad sinus infection. I have an
appointment for a CT scan this week, I am hopeful that this will
provide some answers either way. I have not been advocating for
myself medically. My friend asked me last week where the hell the
old Greg was who wasn't afraid to speak up and say what he needed
too, he's been missing for a while
I had a decent weekend, yesterday I
went with my buddies wife to visit him in rehab. It was good to
listen first hand to people in the midst of the struggle and dealing
with the fallout from their addictions.
It was tough to hear the pain and
suffering, but it reminded me why I am in program, I hope it also
helped my buddy to realize that his addiction is going to bring him
pain and misery and maybe kill him
I have connected with a fellow OA
member and we have a lot in common and our personalities are very
much line, I can be rowdy self and talk how I normally talk which
isn't appropriate when in meetings or dealing with most people
**chuckles** This morning we
started an early morning call to do some readings and check in and
share, as well as commit anything we need to for the day. I feel
pretty positive starting my day off this way.
I
have offered before but have been pretty poor on follow up, but if
anyone else would like to do this I would be totally open for a quick
5-15 minute call daily or every few days to do readings and check in.
It would be a great service to me, and give me a chance to be of
service. Drop me an email and lets work out a day/time that’s
concrete, I fail when I don't have a concrete plan, its one of my
character defects.

with or without you.report.10.13.14
Good morning
My name is Greg I am a grateful
recovering Compulsive OverEater and Addict, I was abstinent
yesterday.
I feel a bit better today because I was
able to unburden myself with the truth yesterday. I have not been
abstinent the last few weeks even though I thought I was.
I was making choices on my own, I took
a comment by my sponsor as a license to do things “my” way. We
had been talking about a choice I made and he said “you are your
own person and you will do your own thing” he was of course
talking about self will, but I took it as “you are your own person
you can make your own choices” and I ran with it. I lied to
myself, and I swallowed that lie hook, line and sinker.
I have been feeling miserable the last
few weeks, both mentally and physically. I sent a msg to my provider
to get a cat scan done to see if there is something going on in my
head that is causing my headaches. When I am in physical pain I
struggle badly with program and life in general. I don't want to do
meetings, or talk to people or anything else. The pain in my head is
so bad and I am in such a s**** mood. Some days I can push through
it, other days it feels like not. I have one going on right now and
I just want to go home and hide from the world, but I can't do that I
have things to do, which really p***** me off, but that's life.
In the grand scheme of things I am
alright, I am upright and above ground. I have a home, food,
transportation, the essentials to make it through today. I am
alright.
I had a good conversation with my
sponsor yesterday, I was able to come clean with him and myself, I
received and excellent call from a fellow member who told me exactly
what I needed to hear. Sharing her ESH was just what I needed when I
needed it. She apologized for not calling me back soon, I told her
not to worry about it because her call yesterday was a life saver,
and I was very grateful.
HP works in mysterious ways, I don't
know who or what it is; but I cannot deny the little miracles I see
everyday. I cannot believe this is all just chance and coincidence.
Something greater is out there.
