YES AND NO
Let your no be no and your yes be yes.
The Bible, Book of James
The disease of compulsive eating really warps a person's life. Many compulsive overeaters become people-pleasers, not knowing how to set boundaries, and thus end up not being able to say, "No." However, we also end up saying, "Yes," to our disease. In the depths of our disease, we lose complete control of our lives.
This program of recovery helps us to set our lives back in order. When we give our disease over to our Higher Power, when we work the Twelve Steps and practice the principles of our program, we see that our lives can be turned around, and daily, we win over our disease.
One Day at a Time . . .
I will say, "No" to my disease and "Yes" to recovery, by working the Twelve Steps, by surrender to my Higher Power, and by living the principles of my program.~ Jeff ~
