what are you afraid of?

I believe
it’s fear
that’s keeps us
from getting
clean and sober

Fear of
facing reality
keeps us
from getting
clean and sober

Fear of
facing the

shame we feel

embarrassment we feel

people we harmed

people we disappointed

stupid things we did

dangerous things we did

money we wasted

time we wasted

energy we wasted

health we damaged

people we damaged

careers we damaged

damage to our character

SEX WITHOUT DRUGS

all the lies we told
to others

all the lies we told
to ourselves

relapse

yesterday

today

tomorrow

misery we caused

misery we feel

admitting we are
powerless

admitting our lives are
unmanageable

fear of the unknown

fear of life without
drugs and alcohol

fear of loneliness

And the list
goes on and on

The list of fears
is
is longer than your arm

Your list is
like every other
addict’s list

Your list is
unlike every other
addict’s list
because
although
there are similarities
among addicts

no two addicts
are actually alike

You are
an addict
for the unique
set of reasons
you became an addict

A psychiatrist
will give you
a few minutes
to prescribe
you medications

A clinical psychologist
will give you
an hour
to talk
for a fee

Old Rehab
will give you
a 28-day
indoctrination

Only
a sponsor
will give you

the priceless
one-on-one
time and energy
you’ll need

to help you
face your fears
and
guide you
in your recovery

GetAFuckingSponsor
and
face your fears

GetAFuckingSponsor
and
face the reality
of
what caused
your addiction
in the first place

GetAFuckingSponsor
and
do the work
you must do

to
fix the
mess you made

GetAFuckingSponsor
before it’s too late
and you

get sent to
jail
or
a mental institution
or
die an early death

There is no excuse

Sponsors are free

And that’s
The Truth
