All those years of pain
Regret, then do it again.
Lessons not learnt
Bridges were burnt
Friends say goodbye
Why me? I cry.
Then a time came
When I had no one to blame
Enough was enough,
It was time to get tough.
Finally I had to do
Things I didn’t want to
I admitted I was wrong
It had taken way to long
I tied up my money
That really wasn’t funny
I got to a meeting
Wow what a greeting!
I met people like me
and heard stories like mine
I didn’t have to be
in trouble all the time
My life needn’t be a joke
I finally had hope
Where my world had been hollow
Recovery could follow
If I put in the work
I didn’t have to be that jerk
Now further down the line
Recovery is mine
Family are proud
And say it out loud
I’m married and happy
Life is no longer crappy
I was sad all the while
Now I carry a smile
It didnt happen over night
At times it was a very hard fight
But now I know recoveries mine
As long as I take it a day at a time!
Im a poet and didn’t know it!
