Logic

If logic were the dominant influence in human behavior, who would be a compulsive overeater, or an alcoholic or an excessive, obsessed anything? ~ Anonymous, Overeaters. For Today (Kindle Locations 2058-2059). Overeaters Anonymous, Inc.

We tend to be logical people,
we who find home in these rooms.
We know how things work
and can clearly describe
the process of setting aside
addictive behavior.
Virtually every newcomer
in a group of folk with eating disorders
knows healthy eating, understands
nutrition and beneficial activity...
but putting logic into practice?
There we fail miserably.
As Robin Williams said,
"The more intelligent you are,
the tougher it is to let go."
There seems to be a basis
for the belief you can't be too dumb
for Recovery but too smart?
Absolutely! Don't worry, though,
if you're intelligent. You need only
the wisdom to be brave enough
to surrender!
