My First Christmas

Hi everyone - this is a brief message Doug asked me to post.

I'm working hard, learning and changing. Been sober since November 11th (Remembrance Day in Canada, Armistice Day in New Zealand - same thing).

The deal here is that we move through 3 phases of 42 days each. I'm still in phase one - identifying my issues and triggers.
Anyway folks, this is my Christmas card to you all.

Doug

RISE UP - by Doug Graves (December 2007)

Rise up to Higher Ground

where better things abound,

and eagles soar above the roar

and chaos strewn below.

Just catch the breeze and lift your wings,

be all that you may dare,

and leave behind the battlfield

where once you marched so bold.

Take flight, rise up to Higher Ground

and watch your dreams unfold.
