Walking The Talk by Dave Harm Monday, March 21, 2011 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan In recovery it is easy to "talk the talk" but it is another story to walk it...

I’ve read the books I know the looks I know what to say Though that isn’t the way I don't need practice to talk There’s more to the program It involves the walk I can look you in the eyes Tell you how well I am Yet we both know... they’re lies There are things I truly lust Your friendship… your support I need to learn to trust I can write a poem or sing a song Yet that means nothing If I can’t admit when I am wrong I can share my story My experience, strength, and hope Told with humility… not for the glory I’ll listen in silence when you share A message so powerful I’ll understand… I’ll care It’s easy to talk the talk Quotes from a book may impress That ain’t the program… that ain’t the walk This walk I will take You will see it… The respect I give... it won't be fake Honest words will keep me together With your help and support I can survive the stormiest weather Listening to the thoughts… day by day Step after step… a sanctuary in my mind My Higher Power will always have the final say Walk…….

I can sense in a split second when somebody isn't being true or honest re their journey in the program. Sounds arrogant maybe? but it's not. It's a little voice that tells me something just isn't sitting right. smiling What's the point if there is deliberate dishonesty? best wishes to you Dave.
