SMART
It’s a struggle recovering from dependence and depression
As problem follows problem, an infernal procession.
The angst and indignity engenders such stress
As your life lays before you an intolerable mess.
Self Management and Recovery Training was key
The program that was chosen to purify me.
Everyone is different but this was my choice
To stamp out the evil and regain my voice.
Motivation, problem solving, behaviour and cravings
Were targets as well as the madness and ravings
Of a man with a problem, a lack of direction
With a bent for a drink the worst predilection.
Self esteem was at zero and confidence low
My aim was to regain these and upon me bestow
A workable ethic of reliance and competence
Not degeneration and negative diffidence.
Along with a network of champions and friends
Recovery was possible and I’ve made great amends.
My life is all changing, the way always up
My chalice is full not a half empty cup.
I stand re-invented, my head held up high
Drinking is history such a waste and a lie;
An evil that tempts you to cheat and to hide
From relatives, friends and yourself you deride.
I’m positive now not a figure of fun
For I’ve taken the bull by the horns and I’ve won.
No-one can take this great victory away
My new life starts now, right here from today.

Heartfelt and poignant. Especially loved the veracity of verse "Of a man with a problem, a lack of direction
With a bent for a drink the worst predilection."
Godspeed my good man! |
