I have had a few bumps in my road this week. So I put them on paper, was going to keep it for me but felt the need to share it:

My recovery

by DO

When I entered this program I felt alone, lost and afraid.

I knew something inside me had finally frayed.

I felt the world around me become dark and small.

when I looked inside all I saw was nothingness a hole, it got bigger and biger and I started to fall.

Fall deeper into an emptiness of the world that I once knew.

I had to find away to come out of it, and a life which I knew I had to purse.

My goal for gaining my sanity is simple learning to find my serenity.

while I learn and try to maintain my own idenity.

Out of the darkness from deep down inside, came up a warm glow of light.

I am learing that the sun inside me can shine visably bright.

I found something precious that no one can take away.

I realized I was no longer frayed, and look forward to each bright new glowing day.

On my journey down my road of discovery.

I had started to grow with the help of my HP an my recovery.

Something I looked up while I was writting this thought I would share it.

Definition of idenity:

the set of characteristics that somebody reconizes as belonging uniquely to himself or herself and constituting his or her individual personality for life.

I am very new in recovery I get off track I won't say I made mistakes because my HP knows why I have done the things I have done and traveled the road I had to travel, but with this program it gives me strength when I am feeling really weak. So I say, THANK YOU to my friends in recovery and to my HP for helping me get here!
