For Today

For Today is a daily reading book for people recovering from compulsive overeating, drawn from the fellowship of Overeaters Anonymous. Its short entries, one for each day, offer reflections on the Twelve Steps, the role of a higher power in daily life, and the everyday effort of living without compulsive eating. Each reading is meant to be taken slowly and returned to, giving readers a steady routine of reflection and encouragement.
