Hi Annie
Cheerios are fine. No worries.

OA can have a very rigid, punitive approach to eating/not eating. Radiant Recovery is not like that. I worked with someone who did OA, and she had to eat the exact same thing for lunch every day. To me, that is not freedom from addiction. Freedom from addiction is not even wanting to eat sugar, and having lots of choices of good things to eat that support my recovery, and I have found this with Radiant Recovery.

: Hey Kathleen and Chloe: Again, thank
: you so much for responding.
: Kathleen, I will stay just on
: breakfast. I mean it, I won't
: worry about what I'm eating for
: lunch and dinner and I will
: continue with what I told you I
: was having for breakfast. I will
: trust. Thank you very much! I
: guess I started feeling guilty
: about what I was eating when I
: joined the OA group. My first
: sponsor dumped me because I was a
: "chronic slipper". But,
: learning is a process sometimes. I
: also am wondering...not wanting to
: open a can of worms...but, what
: about the people we live with?
: And, what if all the wrong food is
: in the cupboards and in the
: fridge? Would you say that I will
: just be focused on my own food? At
: any rate, I feel pretty good this
: morning, I'm working on my chores
: and I have energy. Did the
: breakfast and added some cheerios
: at the end. This, I think because
: I woke up wanting to dive into
: something to eat, so I had my
: usual and added some cheerios;
: but, I really don't feel too
: awfully guilty.

: Thank you,
: Annie
