12-Step Groups

I don't know if anyone has tried these but I recently attended an OA meeting, I admit I can definitely go overboard and just..well, keep going lol when it comes to certain 'trigger' foods.

ANyway, I went to this meeting modeled after the Alcoholics Anon. groups and I found it SO incredibly rewarding. Finally, a place where so many others GET it...the addictions, the feelings of high/low and your life and soul being sold away to this awful sugar that ends up consuming you whole!

They talk about abstinence a lot in these groups and I feel guilt that I'm still not 'abstinent'...i mean, I do still have the sugar but then again I am still on Step 1 so its understandable. But a lot of them talk about 'quitting cold turkey' with the sugar and I just feel lots of shame that I can't do this. :s11(
