I’m 37 years sober today, a day at a time.
If you’ve ever had the slightest wonder if perhaps life could be better without drugs and alcohol, pay attention—could be a moment of clarity trying break through.

Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heav’n and home,
When Jesus is my portion?

His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

O the love that drew salvation's plan!
O the grace that brought it down to man!
O the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary.
Mercy there was great and grace was free,
Pardon there was multiplied to me,
There my burdened soul found liberty–
At Calvary.
