Are you struggling with an addiction of any kind? Elena began writing this poem on Day 1 of her sobriety. Now, this spoken word poem is for you. It's for all of us - any of us - who need support as we shift into healing and recovery. This reading brought both Elena and me to tears, and I know and hope it will serve you on your path. Please listen to it as often as you need, and share it with whomever will benefit from listening.
This version of Ritual of Recovery was recorded by Elena with music by East Forest (http://www.eastforest.org)

My dad was an alcoholic and toxicoman, and he wasn't able to be here for because of that. And I forgave, but sometimes I feel so strong the attraction for alcohol even if I usually dont take it, I am scared of this feeling. With your poem, you showed me to look inside when it will happen again... and I will. I promise myself I will look into myself to see what I am hiding for.
I love you for taking this part on you, I am sure it wasn't always easy to assume all your greatness.
