HARSH REALITY ~ RECOVERY

HARSH REALITY ~ RECOVERY

Recovery

Everyday now I work on my personal afflictions,
because they were the cause of my addictions.
I work at closing up the gaping hole inside,
as I know doing God’s will fills my heart with pride.

For all of you that feel twisted, torn and shattered,
surrender to God, that’s all that really does matter.
See to it daily that your eyes stay on Him,
and you will be comfortable in your own skin.

Work with rigorous honesty daily from the very start ,
then chances are you will have a good heart.
Do a daily inventory of your troubles and pray,
and in God’s guiding light that’s where you will stay.

If life’s issues become more that you can bare,
go to a meeting or call someone that does care.
Remember that we all had this very same start it seems,
that is why we are here, we lost sight of our dreams.

Choose a God of your very own understanding,
one that is loving, forgiving and not demanding.
Put all of your reliance only upon Him for today,
and all of your troubles will seem to be less gray.

Before you turn in at night , do an inventory of all your woes,
be ready and willing to apologize , that’s the way it goes.
Be grateful for all that you now have because of His glory,
for now you are healing and have a new story.

Today my recovery is the 1st. and most important thing in my life. If I do not have that , I will have nothing. So I try my best each day to do the three things that I have learned will keep me clean & sober for another twenty four hours and have a positive impact on my life, One Day At A Time * ........
1. Trust God.
2. Clear away the wreckage of my past.
3. Share my courage , strength and hope with others.

All forms of spiritual disease comes from resentments* !
......................................................................................................................................
My inner rumblings reflect my personal trials,
dreams, needs and obligations.
My Artwork / Poetry reflects who I am !
