If only I felt Peace within
If only things were different
If only someone knew my pain
If only I felt whole again
Why do I feel so empty inside?
If only I could fill the void
Why can’t I feel that buzz for a while?
If only something made me smile
If recovery is meant to be so good
Why do I struggle from day to day?
Is this it?
Clinging on to staying clean
By horror stories and drinking tea?
What did the promise of being better mean
Who is my self?
What can comfort this new recovering me
To inspire, transform, my abject misery?
I want to find Serenity
In my Recovery…
I want to grasp Life fully now…
I just don’t know how.

| What Else? |
Is there?
If not that exquisite feeling of
Oneness…so clear are
Feelings; if only for yourself.
You’re positive, absolutely, unequivocally-
This is how it’s meant to be; me, me, me!
So right! So powerful!
You can conquer the world!
Doesn’t matter who stands in the way.
What, when, or where, has no relevance.
All it takes is ‘just one more’ to take all
doubt away.
And yet… consequences follow actions,
To bring you down so low. We all know.
Boring stuff. But true.
How about you? You inside?
Ever really tried to reach that elusive high,
To touch the intangible
Without artificially altering
Your state of mind?
Our true self holds an infinite wisdom and Power.
Look within to find what else there is…
A life-force fix greater than imaginable is His! |

| Be still |
Be still.
In calmness of self lies
Peace,
Intentions are seeded in tranquillity,
Given time and space they flourish,
Watered from above with love
Each inspiration grows strong, from our soul.
Therefore be still.
Allow the spirit to be whole. |

| Don’t touch me |
I’m frightened
If you touch me.
How can I respond?
It’s all gone.
The inhibitions are here.
How should my body feel?
I’m lonely.
I want to be held.
How shall I tell you what I need?
I’m all tense within
Frozen with confusion and regret.
How could I amend and start anew?
I’m sorry.
Intimacy just scares me to death.
How come you don’t know me and I don’t know
you?
Without a substance just what do we do?
Don’t touch me.
It hurts. This loss.
How did they forget to tell I’d lose this part of
me
In recovery? |

| Escape (from addiction) |
If you are in the troes of despair… Take courage,
Strength, and Hope from reading; it was written and
compiled by someone who’s been there…
I lived in fear
Where I thought
No light shone.
Trapped
In my own
Existence.
‘Till I felt
The Spirit
Within.
Freedom!
Now I have
What was always
Missing.
Now I have peace.
Every day may be
What I think…
Whatever befalls
I have no need to drink.
What I found is nothing new
The answer to sobriety
Is inside me and part of you.
That inner peace of being
So precious, so complete
Nothing can compete –
Chose to use?
If I’m not sure
I just remember what I’d lose.
A simple No! retains not only my recovery
But the very essence of me: my Spirituality.
I’ve found what I have been searching for!
You can escape too
Be present in the ‘now’.
Addiction stops right here.
Ask why?
How did I get to this point – The how to change
will unfold
If you hold
Your thoughts; that mental flurry
Disconnected from action.
Now is the only time to end the perpetual cycle.
Escape from Addiction with mindful intention
Repeat to your Self, stating clearly from your heart
- I exist
- I create
- I am aware
Then you’ll be there – on your journey,
at the start…
Join us!
May angels watch over you while you sleep
May G-d’s Light shine upon you and from harm keep
