My joy in recovery is multiplied in direct proportion to the extent to which I share it with other compulsive overeaters. ~ Overeaters Anonymous. For Today (Kindle Locations 1389-1390).

In numbers there is strength.
A group of people
has more influence or power
than one person.
When that group of people
consists of individuals
seeking Recovery,
that strength, be the numbers
two, three, twenty-five,
a thousand, the size matters little,
the companionship,
the common cause
is paramount.
I put my hand in yours,
and together we can do
what we could never do alone.
No longer is there a sense
of hopelessness, no longer
must we each depend
upon our own unsteady willpower.
We are all together now,
reaching out our hands
for power and strength
greater than ours,
and as we join hands,
we find love and understanding
beyond our wildest dreams.
