The first meeting was held in Los Angeles.<br>Today, over six thousand groups meet weekly<br>throughout the world. It is believed that around<br>sixty thousand members are finding help to start<br>new lives in recovery. Am I grateful that the<br>message of the Twelve Steps is being brought to<br>people with addictions of all kinds?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-5df1f9d2ba675cb2491d03692eb59e39\"><strong>The idea of a fellowship for people with eating<br>disorders was conceived at a meeting of Gamblers<br>Anonymous. This illustrates the variety of addictions<br>there are, and their commonality. Eating disorders<br>seem to be a fairly recent problem in terms of<br>numbers afflicted though the problem itself may go<br>back hundreds of years. Addiction does not confine<br>itself to one particular behaviour and I must always<br>be aware of the dangers of cross-addiction. I ask<br>today for the grace to extend the hand of friendship<br>to all Twelve Step fellowships.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View VIDEO on FView VIDEO on Facebook&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 Follow on TikTok Videos at&nbsp;Tiktok.com\/@recoverydaysacebook&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 This day in 1960 the first meeting of Overeaters Anonymous held Eating disorders Overeaters Anonymous (OA) is a community ofpeople who support each other in order to recoverfrom &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/?p=1925\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":689,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,17,31,20],"tags":[11,15,28,27,26,33,23,22,32],"class_list":["post-1925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-addiction-recovery-2","category-behavioural-addiction-2","category-daily-inspiration","category-living-skills","tag-addiction-recovery","tag-addiction-treatment","tag-castle-craig","tag-connection","tag-daily-reflections","tag-fellowship","tag-meditation","tag-recovery","tag-recovery-journey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1925"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1927,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1925\/revisions\/1927"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
