How do you carry the message?

Wait until the compulsive eater comes

like a salmon bounding up the river

ready to be grasped? Sure, but the others?

We are an organization of attraction,

not promotion. And walking up,

suggesting, “Have I got a program you need!”

No, we’ve been on the receiving end,

know how it feels. But setting out a hook,

a bit of bait, a nibble to tempt, and we draw in

questions, comments, conversation openers.

If we’re patient fishermen, they’ll take the bait
and we can tell them the wonders we’ve found,

how we got reeled in to recovery.
