โˆž a ghost no more โˆž

yes i am alive today with a full range of emotions, passions, desires and dreams, so unlike that pathetic creature who walked in her not so many days ago. although i loath thinking about the shell of a person that i was, those memories provide me the contrast i need to SEE the evidence that this whole recovery gig is paying off. not that i actually need a pay-off to stay clean and not that recovery is in of itself reward enough for my work. every now and again i need evidence that i am changing and evolving into something better. you know that whole immediate gratification thing.
I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW!
AND WHAT I WANT IS ALWAYS MORE
so i can ask today to serve others with love. i can find it in my heart to love myself. and i can walk in FAITH that although i am unable to see where i am going, i am going to where i need to be.

of a state should not be shown to the people.
