Wendy's Battle: From Overeating to Recovery
“I've learned: don't count The Days, make the Days count, and when you're in the moment, when you want to pick up, whether it's food or whatever, whatever, whatever is the addiction du jour, I'll say of The Day you know, make a phone call first, because the craving, the craving like the yearning it does pass.”
