The No-Matter-What Club

It's exclusive, select membership,
a great honor, not earned but received,
this No-Matter-What-Club.
Many members come in secret,
anonymous, not broadcasting the news,
not holding themselves up
as having received the honor.
They know they did nothing to achieve,
just admitted they were powerless,
came to believe in a power that could,
and surrendered, then did what they's agreed to
no matter what. They had the cravings,
needed — or so it felt — to act out as they had,
but they refused, accepted direction,
and did as they knew they needed to do
no matter what. And when they did,
wonders happened in their lives
and they learned to live in that path
no matter what.
