about

The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says that if we do the work of the 12 Steps, good things will happen. This is my interpretation of the Promises.

lyrics

(Written by John Dillon, ©2021 MotherDitch Music BMI)

On Hope Road I’m not alone
Twelve roadsigns guide me home      
Left behind the booze and dope
Glad I found this Road of Hope

Amazed before I was halfway through
New freedom came to stay
Happiness, long overdue
A smile most everyday
No matter how the die was cast,
Or how low the floor
No more do I regret the past
Or wish to close the door

On Hope Road we’re not alone
Twelve roadsigns guide us home      
Left behind the booze and dope
Glad we trudge this Road of Hope

I comprehend serenity
Know an inner peace
Self-centered insecurity
Finally been released
Lose my selfish tendencies
Improve relationships
Turn over my dependencies
Embrace the fellowship

On Hope Road we’re not alone
Twelve roadsigns guide us home      
Left behind the booze and dope
Glad we trudge this Road of Hope

The more I read the Book
And let go of the reins
My attitude and outlook
Upon this life does change
Fear of folks and finance
Almost always gone

Grateful for a second chance
I welcome a new dawn

On Hope Road we’re not alone
Twelve roadsigns guide us home      
Left behind the booze and dope
Glad we trudge this Road of Hope

Intuition moves us
In the here-and-now
Things that once confused us
Make sense to us somehow
We hear a joyful chorus
A melody once unknown
God is doing for us
What we could not do alone
Yes, God is doing for us what we could not do alone
