Step To Recovery (From Food Addiction) Tune - Waltzing Matilda
Intro
Verse 1
Once A Jolly Sponsor Chopping Up Some Butternut
Answered A Call From A Brave Newbie
And She Prayed As She Chopped And Listened To The Newcomer,
Help Her Take A Step To Recovery With Me!
Chorus
Step To Recovery, Step To Recovery,
Will You Take A Step To Recovery With Me?
And You’ll Never Be Alone, For Together We Are Craving-Free.
Will You Take A Step To Recovery With Me?
Verse 2
My Head’s Full Of Food Noise, The Cravings Are Unbearable,
I’m Scaring My Family, What Can I Do?
I Can’t Stop The Binging, I’m Desperate And Disgusted,
You Said I Should Call You, Now What Worked For You?
Verse 3
The Sponsor Stopped Her Chopping Of The Butternut,
Memories Rising And Gratitude Too.
God Help Me Speak And Thank You For Recovery.
Please Help Her Step To Recovery With Me.
Chorus
Step To Recovery, Step To Recovery,
Will You Take A Step To Recovery With Me?
And You’ll Never Be Alone, For Together We Are Craving-Free.
Will You Take A Step To Recovery With Me?
Verse 4
I Lived With Food Noise From Childhood Through Detox,
I Know The Cravings, The Shame And The Fear.
And I Know The Closet Full Of Clothes That Do Not Fit.
I Know The Fear In My Family’s Eyes.
Verse 5
I Know The Diets, The Ups And Downs And Failures,
I Know The Hiding, I Know The Lies.
And I Couldn’t Stop Eating The Food I Knew Was Killing Me.
I Couldn’t Say When The Next Binge Would End.
Verse 6
A Friend Once Told Me “You Might Be Addicted -
Some Foods Can Be Like Gin To A Drunk.
And You’re Not Alone, There Are Many In Recovery
Whose Cravings Are Over – They’re Healthy And Sane.
Chorus
Step To Recovery, Step To Recovery,
Will You Take A Step To Recovery With Me?
And You’ll Never Be Alone, For Together We Are Craving-Free.
Will You Take A Step To Recovery With Me?
Verse 7
When I Went To A Meeting, I Heard People Talk About
Their Eating Histories – The Failures, The Shame,
But They All Were At Peace And Living At A Healthy Weight
They Were So Sure It Could Happen For Me!
Verse 8
I Read The Big Book, I Read The 12 And 12,
Kay Sheppard’s Books And Kay Sheppard’s Plan
With The Help Of A Sponsor I Started An Experiment
Just Thirty Days To See What Would Be.
Verse 9
The Detox Was Short, The Food Plan Shut The Cravings Off
I Started The Steps – One-Two-Three
And I Followed Directions And Went To Lots Of Meetings
When Thirty Days Passed I Knew I Could Be Free.
Chorus
Step To Recovery, Step To Recovery,
Will You Take A Step To Recovery With Me?
And You’ll Never Be Alone, For Together We Are Craving-Free.
Will You Take A Step To Recovery With Me?
Verse 10
I’ve Tried Every Diet, Hypnosis, And Some Other Things,
I Think I Am Ready To Try Something New.
And Will You Be My Sponsor? Will You Show Me What To Do?
I’d Like To Try An Experiment Too!
Verse 11
Yes! Said The Sponsor, Look Around Your Kitchen.
Let’s Plan Your Meals From Now Until Bed.
When You Call Me At Seven We’ll Talk About Tomorrow’s Food.
I’d Love To Step To Recovery With You!
Chorus
Step To Recovery, Step To Recovery,
Will You Take A Step To Recovery With Me?
And You’ll Never Be Alone, For Together We Are Craving-Free.
Will You Take A Step To Recovery With Me?
