Believe that you can be abstinent. You will be. Believe that you can have sanity, peace of mind, and freedom to live the life you want. You will have them. Believe that you will recover. You will. ~ For Today, p. 354

Believe. Accept as true, feel sure,
trust in the omnipotent, omniscient giver.
Simple belief – a promise awaiting close.
But belief about your own proposed action,
actions attempted countless times,
never attained. Actions you’re powerless to do.
Not just simple belief…belief with surrender.
Believe the actions will come, sanity follow,
recovery happen.

…freedom to become a life-managing adult. ~ Lanaya B

Peter Pan didn’t want to grow up;
Wendy did. Or maybe just understood
the weariness of staying the same,
good  or bad. How sad it is, though,
to find that aged body with a juvenile bent,
sense of responsibility, moral values…
As I child, I thought so, understood so,
spoke so. Fine for its time, but time moves on.
As an adult, past was past, the present alone
available, malleable, subject to change.
The growing up is hard, long, arduous at times
but the result is to share the big table,
to be a part, to be accepted. To be free
to become a life-managing adult…

I’ve done it, worked the steps,
read the books, lost the weight.
I’ve arrived where I set out to go.
Why, then, does it seem
I’ve just begun, that more awaits,
wonders I can’t afford not to seek?
