I have only known one person who fasted in FAA for religious reasons. However, she is no longer in FAA. This is my personal opinion only - I believe it is physically unhealthy (blood sugar levels,...

Dear Athiria,

I agree that a little pressure while working on something sometimes feels good and what I know for me is that it seems to keep me quite focused. I love that you are resting and then...

Wow, Athiria - Day 170+ and going strong! You are a real role model to show that FAA can be done by anyone who wants to do it by using prayer and support. Thank you for that.

I love your idea of...

Hi Jim,

People who have face-to-face meetings in their areas are often able to find a "live" sponsor through the meeting. If you don't have a face-to-face meeting, or if you don't find someone at...

Dear Athiria,

The voice you are hearing is the voice of the addict that doesn't WANT you to ask for help! If you ask for help, you will weaken the hold the addict has on you and make a choice for...

I enjoy sparkling water with a lemon or lime wedge also.

Welcome back, Rachel... I'm so glad you had the experiences you did with the food plan and your exposure to the Steps through your work. Putting those together, you knew where to come when you were...

Hi sadgirl,

I hope you liked the phone meeting and will go to some more. I honestly don't know what I'd do without them - I need meetings to help me stay abstinent, they are one of the Tools of...

I love the slogan, "I have enough, I do enough, I am enough."

Perfectionism is one of my character defects and I have learned since working the Steps how bad it really was on me and on others in...

Dear sadgirl,

Welcome to FAA. Since there are no face-to-face meetings in your area right now, you will probably need to find a sponsor that you can connect with by phone or e-mail. I found my...

Thanks, Deb. I really like your user name too - it's a good one to keep in mind!

No, I haven't been in FAA a terribly long time, just three years.

As for continuing to pray the same prayer,...

Just a quick note to say "Hi" and that I'm thinking of you. How are you doing with your new abstinence? If you have any questions or comments, etc., please do feel free to post...

Hi,

NOTE: If you are dairy sensitive, eliminate dairy and substitute 2 oz. of any type of protein.

This is from the "Dairy" section of FAA's suggested food plan. Many who follow the food plan...

Welcome to FAA, Captgolfer! :smile:
