The recipe for recovery<\/p>\n
is to first, please admit<\/p>\n
that your world is simply shit<\/p>\n
life is a shambles<\/p>\n
with its choking vines and brambles<\/p>\n
and powerless you are<\/p>\n
can\u2019t do food sanely anymore.<\/p>\n
Second, you need a gallon of faith<\/p>\n
belief in a higher power<\/p>\n
or something, anything<\/p>\n
that gets you through the hour<\/p>\n
a shoulder to lean on<\/p>\n
a helpful book to make you strong.<\/p>\n
Third, a sprinkle of trust<\/p>\n
turn life over, you must<\/p>\n
into God\u2019s loving care<\/p>\n
he\u2019ll have lots<\/p>\n
of help to spare.<\/p>\n
And fourth, most importantly<\/p>\n
write down all that ails thee<\/p>\n
every little bitty sin<\/p>\n
to wipe your old slate<\/p>\n
clean again<\/p>\n
to heal those things<\/p>\n
that once had you pinned.<\/p>\n
Fifth, a smidge of confidentially<\/p>\n
take it all and give it away<\/p>\n
admit each wrong before the nighty<\/p>\n
to yourself, a friend and almighty<\/p>\n
and life will soon be quite alrighty.<\/p>\n
Ingredients six through twelve, see<\/p>\n
be entirely and fully ready<\/p>\n
a pinch of humility<\/p>\n
admitting harm to others quickly<\/p>\n
log continuing inventory<\/p>\n
meditate, and pray daily<\/p>\n
and share this blessing<\/p>\n
so others be free.<\/p>\n
