The Big Book of Recovery Poems

By Yvonne Stringer

Many of those who battle addiction cant see the light at the end of the tunnel. I would say to not be discouraged, there is a light. Whether you have just started the recovery process or you have many years, you cant do this alone. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you Matthew 6:33.
This book is to simply let you know that you are not as alone as you may think. Here you will find poems from domestic violence to being a kid again. There are poems from suicidal ideation to survival skills. Hope, strength, faith, courage, and overcoming the bondage of self can be found within these covers. The Big Book of Recovery Poems will make you cry and make you smile.
