Few months ago I joined OA, think AA's structure but for people with food issues like binge eating and since you can't abstain from eating you want to abstain from caving into the urges Up to this point I had lost over 60lbs but had plateaued for like a year and met with a nutritionist who recommended OA It was great at first, met a lot of supportive and welcoming people, I feel I got good insight from listening to others share After I got a sponsor I quickly broke through my plateau, eating got consistent, started tracking again and got back on a proper cut, another 10lbs down, lifting is going great, everything's on the upswing I worked the steps hard af, got invested in my values and spirituality in a way I never had before Before long I started feeling like I needed to leave There's just too much shit I fundamentally don't agree with. The steps go real heavy on this idea of helplessness and needing a higher power to guide you, but it quickly becomes apparent The Higher Power is not religion, but the group and that without it you're basically fucked. There is no point where you're even allowed to say "I think I'm good, I want to ride this wave of progress and carry on with my life" There's like this obligation to keep going that gets imposed. I am grateful for the experience cause this shit helped me break through a long ass plateau and get in touch with my values but it honestly feels like sticking around would be detrimental. Anyone else have a similar experience in a 12 step program?
I say this as someone who has a twin but not an identical twin, as far as I know even identical twins aren’t genetically identical, they’re just extremely similar Regardless in reality, yeah, even if they’re identical they’re still another person and you’re inherently genetically similar enough that fucking them would be incestual from a purely genealogical standpoint, moreso than most even. However even if you were completely genetically identical, it is still incest in the genealogical sense. From a moral standpoint as well, though that depends on the culture.
I haven’t and can’t say I have any desire to, but in order to maintain your boner I will disclose that I have probably seen my brothers penis more than any other woman has
