I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Mine was great because I didn’t binge! Part of it is because it was a brunch and there were less things for me to binge on. Another part is that I’ve finally surrendered! My sponsor has been trying to get me to surrender and I think I finally have. At first I didn’t know what he was talking about. I’m a very visual person so he used the example of the Germans surrendering. I still had problems with that. Then I talked to some lovely ladies after a recent meeting and they explained it to me. I believe that it is :  accepting that I’m different from other eaters, asking God to help me stay abstinent daily, taking actions that will help me stay abstinent. I am 3 days abstinent now. God-willing there will be more.
