Yet Another Warm-Up 7/22/19 “Write a poem where each line is one word longer than the last.” Titled “Thank God for AA, and Thank AA for God”
Take
One step
At a time.
Progress is not linear;
There will be days, weeks,
Months, and even years where you
Fall prey to old habits and forget
Why you chose to seek recovery at all,
Because it is so much easier to succumb to
Painful familiarity than to work toward an uncertain, unpromised redemption.
But think of the life your younger self always dreamed of-
Do you wish to make that child weep, or beam with pride?
