benefits of recovery

one of the primary responsibilities of life
is health maintenance.
while we all have various degrees of
well being, continued recovery will
benefit anyone.

it allows lowered blood pressure,
and reduced triglycerides,
less stomach acid and upset,
and eliminates empty calories.

energy levels rise,
sleep becomes deeper,
and focus sharpens.

mentally, we experience improved
decision making,
increased memory,
renewed optimism,
better self-image,
and added awareness.

so when someone raises a glass
to toast to your health,
just remind them;

that you've toasted so many
times to others health,
you nearly ruined your own.
