I had never heard of Overeaters interior meetings. I had plainly heard of Mr. Bill and Dr. Bob, the founders of the papa program, AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), and that was only when I had eavesdropped on parents and their parent friends talking near the one pariah in the town who had a drinking problem (when, ahem, many others did, too, but were of course in denial). I went ahead trying to do what the program, calls 'white-knuckling' it, trying the bankbook and magazines and diets that the stars were doing: the South careen Diet, the protein diet, the milk and tawny and speed diet.

My mother would worry beside my heart and my father would say, 'Just don't eat.' Uh, okay. Doi. But when my life was at the source (as they say), when I was reeling from the toxic levels of prescription and other speed and still sitting on the kitchen floor at three a.m. eating from a bowl of stuffing with my hands, my best friend took note and tried a different tact...the one you learn to use next taking in a few hundred Overeaters secluded meetings: she handed me a little book of meditations and quotes. (The book was a Hazelden publication, a 365-day/page book that on each day had a quote to think just about and a meditative write-up to help you get through the day or night. She said if I ever wanted to come onward to a meeting I was welcome.

I am not the typical fat transcendent idea you see on TV or in madcap books. I wear cool guise (or so I used to), am mouthy and direct, and, while I have to stuff myself into shoes one year or lay on the bed to bonder jeans the next, have never been lacking in boyfriends, romance, or even husbands or proposals from guys who would like to be my husband. I am also not a big joiner, having a tendency to run the show or stay at home and run my own. So I wasn't real excited aimlessly these Overeaters withdrawn meetings that named on like some slinky cult of 'chosen' ones. I wasn't into God this and God that, for I was also at the time big on studying the existentialists who had denounced God, and was more nihilistic and hateful than grateful.

Ah, but that is exactly what makes one a perfect appointee for Overeaters unknown meetings. While they transpire to contain rituals that are rote and mind-numbing and people who are way too into hugging, they also do this uncanny thing of leaving you to yourself until the concept, feeling, or revelation snags you and you're in and understanding all of it. You get that the rituals establish normalcy. You understand that the slogans give you positive mantras to agglomeration to when the stinking thinking will drive you to drink or eat or whatever you are abusing yourself with. And you understand that the necessity of Overeaters incognito meetings is not to scam you out of millions of buck (the meetings are free or by donation) or to rope you into making paper poppies to sell at the landing (and you don't have to shave your head or sacrifice chickens or small children), but the Overeaters sequestered meetings are to give you someone other than your ill-gotten thoughts and self to connect with, to call debate away from yourself and onto others worse off than you, and to force you to take responsibility for your own port and be putative to someone (or thing) greater than your selfish self.

Overeaters incognito meetings, like all meetings of all 12-step programs, are remarkable constructs that keep millions from destroying what they so unintentionally destroy in their efforts to self-destruct. They help you defection the cycle. They help you stop soul tired of existing tired of.... They help you until you can help yourself.

I am sorry this is so cryptic, if it is. But you will just have to find out for yourself what the program does for you.

Overeaters nameless meetings are held all over the world. There are schedules for every major metropolis and every teeny town. Call the hotline in your area for meeting times, and know you will not be obliged to do some other than shut up and listen. They work if you work em. I promise.
