GOD and Recovery
The big book says somewhere, with health,
youth, brains, and wealth,
we don’t stand much of a chance of recovery.
I made this discovery
when working with others,
and they could relate, those brothers.
I was 24 when I started down this path
I thought for sure I was more likely to deal with God’s wrath
I am thankful I didn’t have the wealth and brains
I contributed nothing helpful to recovery, just my pains
I was 26 when I set it down
It did cause me to frown
for a few years
and yes, there were tears,
until someone pointed out some helpful tips
Living by Good Orderly Direction – values placed on poker chips
Gift Of Desperation – brought me to thinking HP is everywhere and above,
Grow Or Die – and simply just try love.
Love everyone, you don’t have to like everyone.
Stop looking for the one and be the one.
Many things in recovery would blow my mind.
There were many of my kind.
It’s only 12 steps to the penthouse,
with the only condition is that we trust in God and clean house.
Otherwise the fact is that we get jails, institutions and death,
and I have seen way too much of this as alcoholism and addiction brings us way more than bad breath.
