A Change of Course

“We will no longer simply do what we feel like doing or what we think we can get away with. Instead, we will earnestly seek to learn God’s will for us, then we will act accordingly.” — The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous, p. 24

“”This time I mean it!”
And it was true…every time,
again and again and again!
And again and again and again
I gave in to my baser nature,
to my cravings, to my insecurities,
to my rationalizations. to my baser self.
But Recovery…real Recovery
means relying on a Power
greater than I, truly surrendering,
releasing controls, setting getting away
with slips, with indiscretions,
and acting as HP guides, come what may.
