The Meaning of Abstinence

“The simple ability to eat and sleep normally and wake up glad you are alive, glad you abstained yesterday, and glad you have the privilege of abstaining today.” ~ Voices of Recovery (Kindle Locations 2336-2337).
The diet mentality lingers long,
making it seem that eating right
somehow is punishment.
But that's the lie disguised as truth.
Abstinence with gratitude may well be
the best tasting item on the menu,
it's eating right, drinking what you need,
the privilege of abstaining,
of a food plan you love.
