Eating disorders made us sick, and our lives sicker. In the Twelve-Step format of Overeaters Anonymous we tell what it was like, what happened, and what's happening now. Short answers: Ouch! Whoa! Whee!!!!! We come to OA for weight loss, but find that's just a side effect! Slender Steps to Sanity explores the Twelve Steps originated by Alcoholics Anonymous through notes of hope based on personal history, scripture passages, observations from life, and the stories of others in recovery. Slender Steps to Sanity is for people ready to look at out-of-control eating habits and much more. The stories, poetry and meditations hold the keys to a recovery physical, mental, and spiritual.

"Tell me what to do, give me a sign, show me a way out of this," I screamed over and over again to an empty house. Daily my pen would scribble of resources and gifts within me and the love and support all around me. I had a hard time believing it, but my pen persisted. This is the story of my journey from the dark void of fear back into the light of love, and of a pen that encouraged a new acceptance of myself and those around me - the answers to the desperate pleas I had cried out.

Addiction & Recovery

Elephant in the middle of the living room. That is one way of explaining how a family walks around the invisible presence of huge problems. Hindsight is what brings the elephant into focus. Somehow, Chynna T. Laird began to see at age five the bulky creature crowding her family. And from that time as the child, Tammy, she took on a sense of responsibility to her mother far beyond expectation for her age. Her mother was different than other mothers. Family life in their household was not pretty. No one seemed to notice. No one did anything about it, and Tammy wanted someone to do just that. As an adult, Tammy took on her first name, Chynna, and took up the challenge to find out what might have helped her mother fight her battle of self-destruction. She couldn't help her mother, but she would consider it worth everything if her family's story helped another.

White Elephants - a memoir

Laird, Chynna T.

Isolated, clinging to the isolation, I huddled in the ugly rough shell of addiction, hatred, fear, resentment. How could I know others of my kind lay within easy reach? Yet when the shell cracked, just a bit, I found others just like me who understood. Not alone, I learned others, for centuries, shared the fears, overcame the resentments, set aside addiction, substituted love. I found friends in books, especially the Bible and the Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous. Not alone, I stood with you, with many others, in a cloud of witnesses to recovery. In A CLOUD OF WITNESSES - TWO BIG BOOKS AND US Barbara Rollins responds to Hebrews as she did to Ecclesiastes in A TIME FOR VERSE - POETIC PONDERINGS ON ECCLESIASTES. Joined by OAStepper, author of SLENDER STEPS TO SANITY - TWELVE-STEP NOTES OF HOPE, the responses are written not only to the scripture but to companion quotations from the Big Book, ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS.

More than two thousand years ago in the village of Bethlehem, an innkeeper had rented all the space, and still people came. In the familiar rhythm of a favorite Christmas poem that innkeeper shares the magic of the wondrous night. "Keep Christ in Christmas" and "Remember the reason for the season" remind us of the glorious day we celebrate, but a gathered family may find time for eating, visiting, present-exchange, carols...countless customs precious and dear. For some families the reading of the passages from Luke and Matthew has a place, but others intend to and the time gets away. The Innkeeper's Christmas Eve appeals to all ages with vibrant art and verse that sounds like Christmas. Make a new family tradition of sharing the story ¿ with pictures ¿ and remind young and old of the holy birth.
