No matter how it feels, we’re moving forward.
No matter how good it gets, the best is yet to come. ~ Beattie, Melody. Beyond Codependency: And Getting Better All the Time (p. 224). Hazelden Publishing. Kindle Edition.

The rooms of Recovery
wait for us with open arms.
They wait to hear the hurt, the trauma,
the desperation they remember so well.
They wait to discover our entrancement
when we begin to believe we’re in the right place,
They wait for us to hear the old-timers share
the lessons they’ve learned,
the truths that have become the lives they live.
They wait for us to find the truths
that will leave us happy, joyous and free
the rest of our lives as we share our wisdom,
our Recovery, with the newcomers who
have taken our place!
