Letting go of everything at once
was both painful and terrifying.
I could never have accomplished this alone.
It took the help, understanding,
and wonderful companionship
that was given so freely to me by my ex-alkie friends --
this and the program of recovery
embodied in the Twelve Steps.
In learning to practice these steps in my daily living,
I began to acquire faith and a philosophy to live by.
Whole new vistas were opened up for me,
new avenues of experience to be explored,
and life began to take on color and interest.
Get a grip on letting go.
