Trish, member since 2002, identifies as a compulsive overeater, century person, and relapser. Trish's share from the Tuesday evening Century Meeting includes the following themes: keeping pain at bay • losing 100 lbs 3 times • people-pleasing • relapse • leaving and returning to OA • "the slow boat to recovery" • putting down sugar • can't do this program alone • being a part of the group • finding OA through Al-anon • fears & resentments • health issues bringing me back to OA • physical consequences of overeating • today's miracles • honesty versus vagueness • Step 5 • a lot to uncover • pretending to be confident • service
A century person is an individual who has lost or needs to lose 100 pounds or more.
