Keep a Lamp Burning

To keep a lamp burning we have to keep putting oil in it. ~ Mother Teresa

Recovery is not a possession
kept hidden, seldom coming
to the attention even of the person
claiming Recovery. No, Recovery
is a way of life.
As a recovering food addict,
I must put abstinence first
without exception;
I must take the next right action
in my daily life, stay in today
and act my way
into right thinking and feeling.
To keep a lamp burning
we have to keep putting oil in it,
and it is essential that this
is my whole purpose.
