Recovery

I want to be
the best version of me.
I want to believe
in myself
and my recovery.
I'm tired of living
a life of insanity,
that's not the person
I want to be.
I'm not that person anymore,
now I live in accord.
Harmoniously happy,
thanking God
for my sobriety.
I was once surviving,
now I'm thriving.
This is my time,
I'm really trying.
Forgive me for my past,
the changes I've made
are going to last.

The toughest hurdle is forgiving oneself.Once that one is cleared all else can be quickly dispatched.If we feel we are undeserving of mercy then all the mercy in heaven and earth will be wasted on us.I prayed to be able to forgive self as I was willingly able to forgive others.Keep doing the right thing.
