When Relationships Become Part of Recovery from Overeating - Step 8

Have you ever noticed how much emotional energy it takes to carry around resentment, guilt, or an unresolved relationship?

For me, recovery from overeating has involved more than changing what I eat. I've also had to become willing to look at my relationships—and sometimes acknowledge where I haven't handled things well.

That isn't always comfortable. It's much easier to focus on what someone else did to me.

But God doesn't show us these things to condemn us. He can use them to help us grow, heal, and become more like Him.

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1 (NIV)

Sometimes freedom begins with simply being willing to let God show us what needs healing.
