Last House on the Block

Many OA members describe OA as the last house on the block. I do not know if that is true since I do not know where the block begins or ends. I do know that what I found in OA can be found only in the heart and mind of another recovering compulsive overeater. ~ Voices of Recovery (Kindle Locations 215-217).

Where was your block?
Mine was a physician’s suggestion
I have bariatric surgery
and being convinced I could not
when someone important to me
had lost hundreds with a weigh and pay
organization. I could not be weaker,
could not “cheat” in my way of thinking.
So I had to find a “fair” way to loose,
something that had actively evaded me
for half a century. It couldn’t I knew,
but someone I trusted said it would,
and she was right! I now know
that what I found in OA
can be found only
in the heart and mind
of another recovering compulsive overeater.
The last house on the block!
