~ MAINTENANCE ~

"Another flaw in the human character is
that everbody wants to build and nobody
wants to do maintenance."

With the help of our Higher Power,
sponsors, and fellow Program members we
have, completed the 12 Steps, studied
the Big Book, hit regular meetings,
worked the loops, given service, etc
....and finally were able to achieve
abstinence and reach our recovery goals!
Reaching our goals is one thing, but now
we must maintain what we've struggled so
hard to achieve. As COE's, we never
truly lose our addiction for
food. Relape is only a heartbeat
away. Therefore, we must diligently
strive to continue working the Program
tools to guard this precious gift that
we have earned.
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
I will diligently maintain the recovery goals I have worked so long and hard to achieve.
