A speaker at an OA convention once shared that he would have been willing to sit naked on a fireplug and hand out leaflets if that was what his recovery required. Fortunately, our program requires no single act of daring. Instead, we are shown a path to follow the rest of our lives. ~ Voices of Recovery (Kindle Locations 3622-3624).Pick me, pick me! I'll do the fireplug!!
Of course I'm going to want to pick the town...
where I've never gone, never will return...
and can I have a cushion on the plug?
But what a deal, one event...an hour? a whole day?
even a month?...and the deal's done,
battle won, I'm there, recovered, saved.
And SO much easier than to follow a path
the rest of my life...sure, I started late,
don't have tons of years to last, but still...
for years to come...I choose the fireplug.
But. The offer was not made. I'm here.
For the long haul. Thank God, I'm here
for the long haul!
