Perfection breeds disease and precludes self-esteem. I still experience my perfectionism, but because of OA and this slogan, I recover more quickly. I learn more from my mistakes than from trying to be perfect. ~ Overeaters Anonymous. Voices of Recovery. Overeaters Anonymous. Kindle Edition.
“This slogan” is “Progress not Perfection.”
I’ll never be perfect, got cocky recently,
believed I might. I wasn’t then, surely aren’t now…
and learning that lesson was well worth the pain
of feeling that pain. May I strive only for
“Progress not Perfection!”
