The first step

​The first step is the hardest
As the brain can often trick,
You follow a road of asking ‘why’, which you cannot depict. 

Be positive 
Be humble 
This is a new chapter which now awaits
The other road that you walk won’t be a promising fate. 

Look at yourself, questions you are unable to answer to how you got to this place,
Through all the good will in the world the addiction is difficult to trance. 

Attending AA or SMART meetings, the ‘safe space’ you often find,
It’s that simple analogy to be kind to yourself.. such a simple solution which should enter the mind.
