We feel a man is unthinking when he says that sobriety is enough. He is like the farmer who came up out of his cyclone cellar to find his home ruined. To his wife, he remarked, “Don’t see anything the matter here, Ma. Isn’t it grand the wind stopped blowing’?” ~World Service, Alcoholics Anonymous. The Big Book and A Study Guide of the 12 Steps. Anonymous Publishing. Kindle Edition.

It’s more than a diet!
It’s more than a healthy body weight.
It’s seeing the whole picture
but remembering we’re not in charge.
We know there’s devastation
but there’s a strong Power in charge
and all we need is willingness.
When we do what we can do,
what we’re guided toward,
what we’re inspired to do,
others will as well.
And after all, the wind quit blowing!
Isn’t that grand?
