THE ARROGANCE OF SELF-WILL MUST BE FREED -

"Honest apprai-
sal of our experi-
ence has convinced
us that we can't handle
life through self-will alone.
First we grasp this know-
ledge intellectually, and then
finally we come to believe it
in our hearts. When this hap-
pens, we have taken the first 
step and are ready to move 
ahead in our program of 
recovery." (Overeat-
ers Anon., pp.
6-7)



OTHERWISE, SELF-WILL ENDS & COMPULSION BEGINS -

"Like self-starvation
with food or compul-
sive debting or hoard-
ing with money, depriva-
tion with sex can make
one feel powerful and
defended against all
hurts." (Sexual
Anorexia,
p. 1)


"How can an
act done under
compulsion have any
moral element in it, see-
ing that what is moral
is the free act of
an intelligent
being?"

- Auberon Herbert (1838 - 1906) United Kingdom parliamentarian / philosopher





*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
