Mary, a compulsive overeater, hosts this workshop on OA’s Second Step: “Came to believe a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” Some regard Step Two as a bridge from the powerlessness of Step One to the resolve of Step Three.
For Discussion and Journaling:
- Have I come to believe that I need to change? Why?
- How do I feel about replacing my old ideas about God with a face that works?
- What actions am I willing to take that others have told me worked for them?
