We never have to drink or use again
each day we remain clean or sober
with the help of placing ourselves
into the hands of those capable of
teaching us about addiction and its
affects on our own body, minds and
soul. Those that have learned themselves
some sort of recovery program to
incorporate in all areas of their lives
to help them live a healthy, happy,
honest way of life for many one days
at a time building a strong solid foundation
to enjoy, appreciate and never take
for granted.
I like so many tried on my own
for yrs to stay stopped from my
alcohol addiction and continued
to fail until that very day 26 yrs
ago when I could no long do for
myself.
Family stepped in with help from
those capable of guiding them in
the right decision and received
a court order to have me placed
into the proper care, rehab, to
teach me about my own addiction
and give me a program of recovery
to use in my everyday life.
Once I accepted and admitted my
addiction then I was able to become
willing, openminded and honest to
move forward with hope that I need
never have to pick up a drink of poison
again each day I remained sober and live
with this AA program of recovery
as my guideline.
Everything is layed out for me in
this guideline and because of that
I have had no need to pick up again
and try to end my life with this
horrible sickness and disease.
For that I am truly grateful to be
alive and free from the bondage
of addiction.
You can too.
