Next Right Thing Next Right Motives

Woke early from bed, picked up the daily reader right away To keep those insidious cravings at bay After that I knew just what to do I picked up the phone and called my sponsor too We talked about the na program and some of things she said Helped to clear those nagging cravings in my head For some reason my mind goes to addiction Making up stories that are purely fiction It tells me to pick up a drug That always yanks out the rug Beneath my freshly clean feet And if I use I will feel defeat Sponsor said do the next right thing And examine my motives before relapsing Into a world of darkness and gloom I do not want to go there so I make room To do what I know is best Practice the program with a little Zest By the time the conversation ended A solid plan was mended I became of use today And because of that stayed away From the evil I’m accustomed to Replacing it with service to do My daily activities of life Feeling no more or little strife
