snakes in your back

in recovery, three
simple ideas are
drummed into
your head right
from the start;

be on the lookout
for:
1. people
2. places
3. things

any of these three
can kill you on any
given day if you are
not careful

relapse goes hand
and hand with these
little bastards

...the places and
things are not so
hard

but people...

now THERE'S the
real problem

you always can't
see them
coming

Keep it clean. Don't let anyone bring you down. Be as gentle as a lamb, but as wise as a fox. Recovery is worth it.
