June 2021AWAREOur Monthly NewsletterPhiladelphia Area Intergroup of Overeaters AnonymousSTEP SIXWere entirely ready to have God removeall these defects of character.Spiritual Principle:WillingnessA No-brainer TradeTRADITION SIXOh, how I struggle with willingness! Most of all, the willingnessto work for what I want. I want to lose weight, not admit my faults. Iwant to eat whatever I feel like and not suffer the consequences, notconsider the other guy’s side in an argument. I want to be right and towin, not accept the things I cannot change.An OA group ought never endorse,finance, or lend the OA name to anyrelated facility or outside enterprise,lest problems of money, property, andpresige divert us from our primarypurpose.One of the most valuable exercises my sponsor asked me to do inworking Step Six was to take a look at my searching and fearless moralinventory (Step Four) and see where my wrongs and their exact nature(Step Five) were harming me. At one time, these were simply part of mycharacter, and may even have been assets. But then they were warpedby my addiction into something that kept me apart from others. [con’tpage 5]PAIGP.O.

AWARE - PAIGA No-Brainer Trade[con’t from page 1]Confidence became pride, discernment warped into judgment. Sensitivity andfeeling turned to fear and numbness. At one time we were all openhearted, freshand innocent, and then life happened. It made us unhappy people who ate ourway to 300 pounds or starved our way to 90. It made us throw up shields to keepfrom getting hurt.For me the power of Step Six – indeed, of Steps Four through Ten – is in loweringmy shields. In becoming brave enough to be frightened and to know that theonly way around is through, as the poet Robert Frost is quoted saying in ForToday. In being willing to consider that a Higher Power will protect me spirituallyand emotionally if I become vulnerable enough to be genuine with others. Doesit always “turn out for the best”? No. Sometimes I get hurt. But living my lifesitting tight within the circle of my defects of character only ensures that I will beunhappy and frightened alone. If I allow my Higher Power to draw me outside thecircle, I discover that I can see my fellows more clearly and compassionately, andthat I am part of humanity and the Divine One. This is worth everything, and I amentirely ready and willing to give up my defects in order to get this gift. It’s a nobrainer trade.Group ContributionInfoRegion 7 - 10%US Mail:Email treasurer@oaregion7.org formailing address.Electronic: https://oaregion7.org/Click on “Contribute.” Click yourpreferred payment option and followdirections.World Service - 30%US Mail:World Service OfficeP.O.
