One overeater talking to another. We didn’t realize it that night, but the spiritual essence of all Twelve-Step groups was present among us. We shared a problem, we identified with one another, and we hoped for a common solution. ~ Beyond Our Wildest Dreams: A History of Overeaters Anonymous as Seen by the Founder (Kindle Locations 205-207).

We need one another.
We don’t need perfect people…
we believed long enough
we were and we were alone,
for there were no perfect people
and that’s still true.
But there are non-perfect folk
who want to be better,
who desire the happiness
that perfection never brought.
There are plenty of people
and as long as we’re together,
longing together for answers,
we’re a perfect group
of imperfect people.
