Most people think recovery is just about “trying harder.”
But if you’ve struggled with overeating long enough, you already know:
Willpower runs out.
Motivation fades.
Cravings get loud.
That’s why Step 11 matters so much.
Because Step 11 isn’t about food first — it’s about connection first.
When we build a daily habit of time with God (in His Word + prayer), we’re not just “being spiritual.”
We’re re-centering our entire day around truth.
And something powerful happens when we do that:
✅ We pause before reacting
✅ We recognize temptation earlier
✅ We stop running to food for comfort
✅ We invite God into our thoughts, words, and actions
📌 Step 11 reminds us: freedom grows where faith is practiced daily.
“Starting your day with prayer and praying throughout your day will encourage you, increase your positive self-talk, and also help you with your eating choices.”
