A lot of damaged/sick people end
up locked up in jail/prison or in the
hospital/crazy ward. Which is where
I began my recovery. Not that I was
crazy, because I was tested, but because
I had an addiction problem that needed
to be addressed.

Then when it comes to sex, there's sex
behind bars but not the healthy ones
from what ive seen on tv.

I was taught and learned that I was
like an infant when I entered recovery.
I was incapable of taking those first
steps because like an infant I needed
to be carried till I was old enough to
crawl then walk with help from others.

An infant has to crawl before they walk.
An infant is fed and taught with love,
care, guidance to become, emotionally,
physically, spiritually strong over time.

In school, we begin with daycare, then
preschool, moving on to grade school,
high school and possibly college, learning
absorbing, applying what we learn all
along the way.

We don't just emmediately with a snap
of a finger get all we need in life or recovery
instantly. It has to be taught to us and
we learn in order to grow, mature, become
healthy and happy in life.

No need to rush, be kind and love the new
stronger, healthier person you are meant
to be.
