YESTERDAY Yesterday I became 56— To think about it was a scare To realize the life I lived
WHAT I BELIEVE: MY DESTINY AS AN ADDICT
was definitely a dare Yesterday as I think of it was a life of drugs and crime As I look back and think about it, it was all a waste of time
As I’m sitting here in Creative Writing, Today my life is different,
the strangest thought comes to me:
with the way that I live today
that eventually, my recovery will be my destiny!
I’m glad I turned my life around to get away from yesterday!

For instance, I used to rob and steal.
ALL ABOUT ME! IN SPIRIT
Now I’m in recovery and eating a meal. My family was the last thing on my mind. But ’cause of my recovery, the time for them I’ll find.
Sitting there in group and pondering my intentions
I believe in my recovery.
it came to me as a sudden light, this sudden intervention.
Because now, it’s all about me.
Looking back and thinking, I can clearly see

that by the time I’m finished with this, it’ll be all about me. This sudden taking of interest in the workshop, I hope it’s a liking that’ll never stop! Short and swift as you can plainly see, the thoughts in all honesty were all about me.
