For Today - Those Who Cannot Remember the Past Are Condemned to Repeat It

November 26, 2015
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.  – George Santayana

Do I forget what it feels like to feel good?  To feel strong, supple, content in my body?  Have I ever felt that way?  I must have.  I don’t remember.  The point of this morning’s reading is if I forget how dangerous binging is and how inevitable the consequences, I am doomed to this never ending cycle of binging and regret.  I know this to be true.  Today, I will remember how binging makes me feel so unhappy, lethargic and full of self-hatred.  I don’t have to repeat this pattern.  I can let it go and fill my life with the joy of fellowship, connection, and hope.
