One of my friends was talking about having disordered eating patterns, so i looked up the site for 'overeaters anonymous' to see if there were any groups in her area. (She thinks the idea of a support group would help her). I was a bit shocked, as their 12 step program is all about god!!! No offense to christians, but i don't see how god is going to help with a psychiatric problem and anyway even if 'faith' works for some people, my friend is a Pagan and so these steps would not be relivent to her.
Does anyone know of any good groups for compulsive/comfort eating that don't revolve around giving over your trust and soul to god??!!
Do you think support groups can help people more than going it alone.. or are they just a way of some corporation making money?? (Like weightwatchers or something)
These are the holy steps... how strange..:huh:
Are all the 'anonomous' groups christian based and i just didn't know this or something??
