Pig Squeal may seem rational on its surface, but it never is. (Never —as in never, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER!) ~ Livingston Ph.D, Glenn . Never Binge Again(tm): Reprogram Yourself to Think Like a Permanently Thin Person(tm). Stop Overeating and Binge Eating and Stick to the Food Plan of Your Choice! (p. 34). Psy Tech Inc.. Kindle Edition.

Our compulsion is the pig squeal.
We may well be…generally are…
rational, logical people.
On emotional days,
like this date will always be,
our generation’s day that will live in infamy,
our logic can point us toward comfort
as we interpreted comfort for years.
And if food would do for us
what we long for, it might make sense
to eat over it, but it would not
and we will not, and this day
and every day will be days
we will live
in Recovery!
