One of the keys to recovery is helping others who are in need. We discussed the idea of passing the flame of the olympic torch as a metaphor for recovery, and how important it is to “pass it along.”The song won second place in the 2022 Friends of Recovery - NY Art Festival. – JD
From Olympus to the here and now, unbroken chain from long ago
Generations learning how to pass the torch and keep the glow
Wisdom descends through the years, lights a path, and cuts the dark
As I pass the flame on to the next, I keep its warmth within my heart
We carry the torch of recovery, received and held with honor and pride
Given freely, freely shared, a sober life exemplified
Sobriety brings its ups and downs, trials, troubles, forgotten truths
Sometimes the walls are closing in, like I've provoked the wrath of Zeus
Storm clouds of addiction and hatred darken the sky, thunder sounds
I find myself in ‘bad-choice land’ hailstones of hurt hurtling down
I reach for the torch of recovery, received and held with honor and pride
Given freely, freely shared, a sober life exemplified
Obstacles, opportunities
New horizon discoveries
Cleansing thought-impurities
Building my strength in recovery
Like Heracles did twelve great deeds to show his strength and ability
I work on myself to learn to live with honesty and stability
The hole in my heart is filled with light as I share my truth and pass it along
Filling the void makes me whole, we help each other and we sing this song:
We carry the torch of recovery, received and held with honor and pride
Given freely, freely shared, a sober life exemplified
We carry the torch of recovery, received and held with honor and pride
Given freely, freely shared, a sober life exemplified
