Array ( [sid] => 84329 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Discovery of recovery [time] => 2005-02-13 23:58:42 [hometext] => written while seeking recovery, fighting the demons of addiction, trying to stay sober [bodytext] => Discovery of Recovery

Chasing the man, trying to score,
Just one more fix, then no more.
So many years, hiding the pain,
Staying high, just to maintain.
Thought I had my life under control,
What I had was a very empty soul.
Angel of darkness stayed by my side,
Couldn't see the light for foolish pride.
My spirit is dead, this must end,
Where to start, so I can begin.
Surrendering, I made a great discovery,
A new way of life they called Recovery.
A journey beyond my wildest hope,
No more, will I ever need to use dope.
God leads me the way just for today,
And all I ever had to do was Pray.
Narcotics Anonymous has become my home,
They give me Love I've never known.
I am so blessed for another chance to see,
The freedom of life meant to be.

Discovery of Recovery

Chasing the man, trying to score,
Just one more fix, then no more.
So many years, hiding the pain,
Staying high, just to maintain.
Thought I had my life under control,
What I had was a very empty soul.
Angel of darkness stayed by my side,
Couldn't see the light for foolish pride.
My spirit is dead, this must end,
Where to start, so I can begin.
Surrendering, I made a great discovery,
A new way of life they called Recovery.
A journey beyond my wildest hope,
No more, will I ever need to use dope.
God leads me the way just for today,
And all I ever had to do was Pray.
Narcotics Anonymous has become my home,
They give me Love I've never known.
I am so blessed for another chance to see,
The freedom of life meant to be.
