Claim the Calm

H.A.L.T. stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, and Tired.
It's a dangerous state for a person in recovery.
In fact, each of the four is a dangerous state.
But there's a remedy without eating, yelling, crying
or sleeping...or falling into old patterns
that got you to the rooms. Instead, halt.
Find your calm. Be at peace.
Say the Serenity Prayer, not once but as a chant.
Take a walk, a long bath, meet your real needs.
But claim your calm.
