I Could Go East. I Could Go West. It Was All Up For Me To Decide.

Bob Seger. Awesome musician whose music resonates within me. Sobering up is so much just like the undertone of the song "Roll Me Away." "It was all up for me to decide."

"I too am lost, I feel double-crossed

and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right..."

The hawk flying in the sky for me was God circling overhead with His protection; ready to throw me the rope of salvation from my addiction once I was ready and willing to reach up and grab it, and climb into His Arms.

"Stood alone on a mountain top,

starin' out at the Great Divide

I could go east, I could go west,

it was all up to me to decide

Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'

and my soul began to rise

And pretty soon

My heart was singin'

Roll, roll me away,

I'm gonna roll me away tonight

Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',

keep searchin' till I find what's right

And as the sunset faded

I spoke to the faintest first starlight

And I said next time

Next time

[I'll] get it right..."

And I am telling you sobriety is definitely doing right by life, and by God. 

"[I] rolled across the high plains

Deep into the mountains

Felt so good to me

Finally feelin' free..."

Sobriety is for me...

"I spoke to the faintest first starlight,

And I said [to God this] time,

[This] time,

[I'll] get it right!!!

Stay sober. 

Stay vigilant. 

Your adversary roars like a lion. 

You can remain free. 

Stay sober. 

Stay vigilant. 

This time you'll get it right.

Amen.
