Begin the journey of recovery from eating disorders! Let's start now on a twelve-step path that will lead out of the bondage of eating disorders and into the freedom that comes from a closer relationship with God. In the Life Recovery Workbook for Eating Disorders, discover real-life stories of fellow travelers, great questions for individual or group discussion, and a Bible-centered approach to freedom. Twelve beautiful blessings await after our hard work on the journey of recovery from eating disorders. - Step 1: Open our hearts to God's power to free us from the grip of food addiction. "We now have this light shining in our hearts." (2 Corinthians 4:7). - Step 2: Allow God to join us in the powerful emotions behind our eating disorder. "Daughter," he said to her, "your faith has made you well. Go in peace." (Luke 8:48). - Step 3: Rest in God's care for every decision and eating habit. "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28). - Step 4: Gain a true picture of how God sees us. "At that moment their eyes were opened." (Genesis 3:7). - Step 5: Experience the healing that begins with confession. "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." (James 5:16). - Step 6: Get ready for repentance from sins expressed in unhealthy eating. "You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God." (Psalm 51:17). - Step 7: Allow God's Spirit to fix our food addictions. "For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." (Luke 18:14). - Step 8: Create a list of people our eating disorders have affected. "Do to others as you would like them to do to you." (Luke 6:31). - Step 9: Restore relationships damaged by our sins (when possible) and experience a clean slate. "But then they turn from their sins and do what is just and right." (Ezekiel 33:14). - Step 10: Review daily the defects in us that hinder healthy life with God and others. "Be careful not to fall." (1 Corinthians 10:12). - Step 11: Grow closer to God through prayer and meditation. "The LORD is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him." (Lamentations 3:25). - Step 12: Bless others with the blessing of healing from eating disorders. "Gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path." (Galatians 6:1)
