When do You Become an Addict

When do You Become an Addict
Or alcoholic?

When do You Become an Addict
Or alcoholic?

That seems to be a very difficult question to answer,
But maybe it’s very simple.
What are addicts like?
And what do they like?
The answer to both questions is the same.
They are in love with their drug.

So, what does the addict in recovery have to do?
That’s a tough one.
They have to fall out of love with their drug,
And that ain’t easy.
For most it is practically impossible,
At the very least it’s tough.

You can’t get in bed with your mistress.
Keep away 
From the persons, places and things that lie in bed with her.
They are adorned exotically, 
And very few can resist their perfume.
Keep away from them.

That ain’t easy!
But maybe you can do it.

The Past Is Our Resurrection, We Can Learn From It

The Past Is Our Resurrection
We Can Learn From It

Learn from the Past



The Past is our Resurrection

The Past is our Resurrection.
It becomes a new beginning,
When we learn from it.

We don’t fall by the wayside
And stay there.
We get up and learn.

That’s what we need to do.
When we slip up,
We start over again and learn.

When we make a mistake,
It’s a resurrection,
We learn from it.

Anxiety
It can be avoided.
When we learn from it.

Anxiety
We make it our friend,
When we learn from it.

Anxiety
We make it our teacher,
When we learn from it.

We learn from the past.

The Past Is Not Our Burial Ground, It Is Our Resurrection

The Past Is Not Our Burial Ground
It Is Our Resurrection

Learn from the Past


The Past is not our Burial Ground
It is our Resurrection

The failures of the past,
Are the growth opportunities of the future.
They are our teachers.

We learn from the past,
Especially
From our failures.

For persons with addictions,
Relapse is part of recovery,
If they learn from it.

And for each one of us,
Learning from the past,
Is how we grow.

The past is not
Our burial ground,
It is our resurrection.

Choose the resurrection.
