Perhaps you are not acquainted with any drinkers who want to recover. (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 89)
Who wouldn't want recovery?
How could anybody learn of the Steps
and turn away, give up the chance offered,
remain in insanity, in the sickness, addicted,
hopeless, powerless, lost?
How would they come into the rooms,
feel the love, sense the joy, know something's there
and turn away? Would anybody say no?
Most not vocally. They just walk with their feet,
speak with actions, turn away to rely on self,
to stay there stumbling, refusing to claim
grace dappling through the rooms.
