Recovery says…

Stop what you’re doing, you’ve got it wrong.
With all that worrying you don’t have long
The time has come, ‘one day’ is here.
To move away from the lifestyle, you’ve held so dear
As the cloak of denial falls from you
Your eyes will open and see what’s true.
Hope awakens, in your beating heart
You acknowledge the problem, you own YOUR part.
Step by step – you move further away
From those dark and empty, hopeless days.
Something awakens deep within
You feel its movement with a grin
Colours are back, vibrant and true
Feeding you in a way – you never before knew.
You’re astonished and humbled and brought to your knees
By the cunning and power of YOUR disease.
On your own, you don’t have a chance.
You’re simply a worrier to addictions sick dance.
But with the help of Higher Power, every day.
The chains of addiction, will fade away
Your family is mended, trust is regained.
The circle is broken, of never ever ending pain.
You find time for something new
Laughter is found, you’re no longer blue.
Free at last, or so they say…
Gratitude keeps the demons at bay
Life is precious, you hold it dear
The song of a bird can bring a tear
Your wound has healed, it’s all filled in.
Content and peaceful, what a win.
And as you lay in bed at night
You pray for the guidance, to make wrongs right.
A purpose is found in years of past pain
And sharing it with others, is your gain.
If you find yourself lost, WE are here.
Hope is very, very, near.
Start by bending knee to the floor
Pray for help, then pray it some more.
Recovery says…..it’s your choice to make.
Two paths, one life, which will you take?
