Getting High Got Me Low
Urban Recovery April 7, 2019
Written from the prompts:
What I think is going to work best for me is….
One action I can take to be successful….
One thing that’s being recommended to me that I’m reluctant to try is ….
Hook:
Getting high got me low
How many times, I don’t know
Now this time I know it’s over
Cause this time I’m staying sober
Friends and family is where I want to be
Returning home….and safely
Happiness comes when we can stay
I would never want to be away
I was lost in drugs contemplation
Now I’ve got 12 steps and meditation
Instead of got it, did it, done…
I can take time to become
Here’s what I need help me not drink
put a little space between me and what I think
Hook:
I’m not religious in any way
And I struggle when I pray
I don’t believe it will work out
I wish I could but I’m filled with doubt
Faith doesn’t seem like it could be real
How can I trust something I don’t feel
I don’t have answers to all my questions…
But I trust I’ll find my direction
I’m religious in every way
And I don’t struggle when I pray
I believe it will work out
I only have this bit of doubt

This discomfort’s gonna pass
Nothing ever lasts
I gotta slow down
cause I’m going too fast
I need new friends
I can’t do it alone
When I want a drink
I need sober on the phone
Heres a gift I got from my friends
When I feel the anxiety, I remember it ends
This discomfort’s gonna pass
Nothing ever lasts
I gotta slow down
cause I’m going too fast
I need new friends
I can’t do it alone
When I want a drink
I need sober on the phone
I can learn to let it go,
I can learn to let life flow
Accept the things that I don’t know
There are many different ways to do it
Some people move some people breath through it
Sometimes I have to suffer to get to happiness
I’m learning to slow down inside the stress
