DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
The last thing I do 'fore I lay me to bed:
I dwell on my day, very quick, in my head.
I make a quick list of the bads and the goods.
The "dids" and the "didn'ts". The "shouldn'ts" and "shoulds".
I think of the acts that I'd done right and wrong,
Characteristics I'd shown, weak and strong.
I sum it all up in a very brief story,
As I continue to take inventory.
I know I can't slip or I'll fall on my face.
I have to continue to always replace
my bad faults with good ones. My weakness with strengths.
It helps me recover, by going these lengths.
When something is wrong I must first realize it,
Start a new habit and then exercise it.
Faults in my character have to be nixed.
I have been broken and need to be fixed.
This is a habit that I am creating,
One that my soul has been deeply awaiting.
All my objectives, I sleep on at night,
are taking the wrongs I have - making them right.
Daily, I do this, to spiritually grow.
I know I will reap all these seeds that I sow.
I'm already reaping - the harvest is good.
Each day it gets better. I knew that it would...
So long as I sort me out, every day,
Clearing the obstacles out of my way,
Asking God's help in my obstacle moving,
Always going forward and always improving.
All of the steps I have learned up to now,
Gave me the wisdom and showed me the how.
Daily I'll work them again and again;
That is the lesson I've learned in step ten.
