Recovery is such a fragile thing.
As my life changes,
As I grow emotionally and spiritually,
I get things, I get friends,
I work steps and learn to live life.
But still I need to hold on to my recovery as tight as I can
One day, I have a strong grip, I am so happy,
I say my prayers, with so much thanks for so many things.
Then, the next day I wake up and
Somehow I am barely hanging on,
I feel scared and alone.
I say my prayers and say
"Thank you God that I didn't use today"
It seems today that's all I have.
But, at least, I have that.
This too shall pass, I know it,
I have heard it before, I have seen it happen,
In my life and in others.
But, today, I hold onto my recovery with all my strength.
Days like these make me realize, how precious and how fragile
Recovery actually is!
