The greyshhet plan, as described on this website does seem awfully restrictive -I think I would starve on it!
As a 13YO anorexic, I went to OA, because it was the closest thing I could find to an eating disorders support group, in my small home town. I met some wonderful people and it really did help. 3 people in particular were the epiomy of loving and caring and even though I haven't seen them in years, I still hold them very dear in my heart.
9 years later, I was battling with bulimia and went to 1 OA meeting. I didn't like it at all. I had an aversion to anything so formal, at that stage of my life, so I never went back. No such caring people to turn to either. I could certainly have used a sponsor, but no such thing was ever offrered me. I guess it all depends on the group. Never was any particular eating plan endorsed, in fact they were against it. Rather it was reccomended to have 3 moderate meals or 6 mini meals/day.
During my 1st short stint in drug rehab (always got kicked out over problems of an "interpersonal" nature") we discussed the 12 steps. As many members are atheist/agnostic, it was explained that GOD could stand for "group of drunks/druggies". What could it stand for in OA? "Group of dieters" doesn't sit too well with me.
