Approaching 7 months of sobriety.
By the Grace of God.
This song makes me think of my addictions – and how they impacted my friends and family.
It’s entitled, “The Last Lost Continent” by La Dispute.
When I hear its lyrics, I think of my family members as they were trying to break me from the bonds of addiction.
Sometimes I think of myself as a sober person – looking to help my sponsees through the 12 steps.
At the end of the day though, God is in charge.
Only my Higher Power can save me and my sponsees.
I let Him fight my battles for me.
For He can destroy my demons as easily as the narrator in this song destroys his.
We are not the heroes in our recovery stories. Our Higher Power is.
We are the rescued. Saved from our addiction. Survivors of the same shipwreck.
Gaining power by the day.
