DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
Some of us had used cocaine. Some of us smoked pot.
Some of us drank vodka, gin or beer.
The thing we have in common is that damn disease we've got.
It's the reason we all ended up in here.
At first we all were strangers, but that didn't last too long.
Strange how quick and deep our friendships grown.
There's people I'd known all my life. My feelings weren't this strong.
A closer bunch of friends I've never known.
I'm going to miss the therapy, the volley ball, the spades.
I'm going to miss the many things we've done.
I'm going to miss the laughter and our childish charades.
I'm going to miss you, each and every one.
The issue that we deal with is quite serious, indeed.
We came here being very, very ill.
We gave each other more support, than we could ever need.
Love and kindness, we had surely got our fill.
You made my program pleasurable. You eased my aching pain.
You gave me strength when mine was at a loss.
The memories of all of you, forever will remain.
I'm happy how our paths all came to cross.
Thanks, you guys, for being friends - for op'ning up to me,
For sharing things you hadn't shared before,
For helping me enjoy myself in my sobriety,
For giving of yourselves and so much more.
Each day I pray God's love on us. His guidance and his blessing.
His wisdom, mighty power, Holy Grace.
I pray that every one of us keep soberly progressing,
That we all might beat this challenge that we face.
I guess it isn't hard to see. I miss you guys real bad.
The words I write can never say too much.
You guys are like the fam'ly that I always wished I'd had.
Let's please do our very best to stay in touch.
