Be Who You Are

Learn what you are and be such.
Pendar

We come to the rooms of Recovery
unaware of who we are.
The insanity of addiction has created
the only god we worship,
whether it be alcohol, sugar,
carbohydrates, drugs, sex, gambling...
or some combination or succession of these.
Our perception of reality had been rendered
by misplaced anger, resentment,
discernment, grasp of ourselves
as well as our surroundings.
But in these rooms and trough the Steps
we began to clarify our vision and reality.
Then slowly or suddenly we understood
ourselves and our relationship to reality
then as we kept coming back we
began to comprehend what we were,
who we were, and how we fit
into the big picture of reality
and how we should be
until with the help of the program
and a Power greater than we
it became possible to be who we should be.
