Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Strong Recovery support group. Each of
us embarks on a journey whose path is uncharted and
whose destination is unknown. We have come to
understand that many of our past actions and
behaviors have been steering us off course. We
entered Program, and struggled to become masters of
our fate - captains of our soul. Having finally
reached this long treasured goal of physical,
emotional, mental and spiritual recovery, it stands to
reason that we will want to maintain this gift at all
costs. Here at our loop - deserving members who
have climbed to the top of the recovery mountain -
those who have persevered and triumphed in attaining
all their recovery goals - can safely gather to
share, support, and inspire one another as they
continue to meet the challenges of their daily
maintenance goals.
One might think that when someone has reached the stage of recovery most members of STRONG RECOVERY have reached, that they might be now able to sit back and enjoy the promises of Overeaters Anonymous program. This, however, is not the case. Maintenance is one of the objectives of our loop and maintaining abstinence takes as much footwork as achieving it in the first place. In the Strong Recovery support group, men and women discuss how they work the program, the tools they use to maintain abstinence one day at a time and how to avoid relapse. Strong Recovery members do not think in terms of "goal weight." Many times when someone achieves their "goal" the diligence to program is lessened and this can be triggering for those who want to avoid relapse at all costs.
Another mission of Strong Recovery is to give service to others. Members of Strong Recovery have learned that giving service to others is one way to maintain personal recovery and it is to the members of this loop first and foremost that speakers, 12 Step and Big Book Leaders, Coordinators, Administrators and Meeting Leaders are found.
For those of you who have earned this precious gift,
we have a loop where you can safely share your
experience, strength and hope with one another as you
work your respective maintenance programs. Strong
Recovery welcomes anyone who desires to stop eating
compulsively and are willing to put recovery first in
their lives. We invite you to join Strong Recovery so that
we may continue to do together what we could never alone.

Thank you for visiting our website. If you are living
the Twelve Steps and are abstinent, we have a place
for you.
