Have you ever given,Till your well seemed dry. Shared so many burdens, You asked yourself Why? So much heartache, and way to much grief, How much longer must we wait? Till we get some relief. Hold on to the program Hold on till you can see Hold on a little longer The steps will set you Free Unfairness surrounds you, Like a plague in the dark, Tearing part your serenity, while it breaks up your heart, Is this for real ? or just some bad dream, Guess this Sobriety ---- Is much more than it first seemed. Hold on to the program Hold on till you can see Hold on a little while longer The steps will set you Free !!!!!!!! Toad

Yes Mr. Steve It did come from me. I had a difficult time with all the New emotions when the booze and dope was removed. I would go to meetings and hear folks share and found I was unable to connect internally with what they were saying. One night after a meeting some thing from deep down within started to surface. It was a melody with words. I had an old guitar around and it all just started flowing out. I came to believe it was a generous Higher Power giving me a bit of help in understanding what I was feeling. I started to understand some folks came into the program with no reference point in there past to look back on to connect the dots of sober living. Those who were few in number seemed to be required to learn everything from the beginning. No place to "get restored to". So we managed to find each other and start "trudging the road to a happy destiny." It has been an adventure of learning. Love. Grace. Acceptance. Tolerance. Joy. Hope. All New. Toad
From one that also did not have a place back then to be restored to. Not unique, just different. Today I am greatful to my HP, whom I choose to call God....I was born just after my biological father died in a horrible train accident, being left to be raised by a seriously schizophenic mother. Today I see it all a a great gift, for it is not my father, or your father, but is OUR FATHER.
God Bless,
love all that you write, I can feel your heart in every word.
That's great!! I've found writing about my feelings helps keep me sober!! It's great therapy!!
