We're Not a Glum Lot

The diet mentality made us all glum,
defensive, angry. That's what many of us expected
here in the rooms of recovery.
Imagine someone...a lot of someones
learning what you did to hide your eating,
to keep people from knowing
you bought a dozen sweet rolls
"for the office" then drove a longer way
so you could eat them all instead,
stopping by a park to dump the wrappings before getting there.
You'd want to bury yourself first, yes?
But we would not, we in Recovery.
We'd tell the tail and when the others laughed,
we would join in, for everybody else knows,
have been there, too! No, we are not
a glum lot!
