5/15/23 Higher Power, God, Allah, Universe, Friends, family, and fellowship: Guide me towards a sober, compassionate life. Remove the self-pity and despair, Replace it with care for others. I can't do this alone but I have to do the work. Grant me strength and fortitude in this war. Lead me out of the shadows of ego And into the arms of serenity. When I want to die, remind me to breathe And embrace the oxygen running through my veins. Please give me the courage to commit and live A life grounded in recovery. Help me learn to love myself, And be of service to my fellow humans.
