It's the first day - I just admitted to myself and to someone in a blog that I am a compulsive overeater and that I have to do something about it before it kills me.
So the first step says "We admitted we were powerless over food - that our lives had become unmanageable."
My first observation is that it is in the past tense and it isn't personal - uses the pronoun We. I suppose that is specific because the Overeaters Anonymous (I have to look up how to spell that word) is a community, working together to become abstinent. I think it is saying that you can't do this alone - that you have to have support.
Second observation - unmanageable. Seems like I don't have control over anything - food, work (unemployed), debts, relationships. Of course this assumes that control over and managing are synonymous.
Well that's my first blog note and my first (no second) time admitting that I am a compulsive overeater. Even if this is never read by anyone I have at least put down in writing my initial thoughts about Step 1.
