To God with Love, Goodbye to Drugs
Written by, Regina H.
God, I get so disgusted with myself
When I refuse to knock the drugs
Blow it away with one giant breath,
Breath in beauty and blow out death.
The pain is like saying farewell
To the potions that made me do dares well
Far away was never far enough to run,
Chasing that next hit hasn’t been all fun.
The decision to surrender is so very scary
But when I get high I consider hari-kari
God, it never reached the point that
You shut me out of your heart;
I shut the door on my heart
With the drug that left its mark
I’m dying and it just now hit me
The Queen Lady Snow tackled me and bit me.
She lied and deceived me, Your Love retrieved me
Thank you, Father, for giving me reality
I offer to you my sobriety
One day at a time, until your eyes meet mine.

Progress Not Perfection
Written by, Mariska P. The Fourth MA Conference meant progress and letting go for me. Just under two years ago, it was “us” versus “them” and now it is “we”, a true unified entity of marijuana addicts in recovery. My how far we have come. Imagine through all the different opinions and personalities, Marijuana Anonymous…
Carrying the Message
Written by, Andi A. The Twelfth Step tells us, having had a spiritual awakening as the result of the Steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts and to practice these principles in all our affairs. I learned very early on in MA that service would help to keep me sober. It kept…
