I have a dollar taped to the wall
No its not the first dollar
I made in a new business
It's not the first I saved for a long needed vacation
It's not any of the things
One would think it would be
It’s the first dollar I didn’t spend
For a bottle
Or a glass of booze
The first dollar I left in my purse
As I turned and walked away
Stayed sober one more day
It’s the first dollar
I didn’t spend the wrong way

Hang in there my friend! Your write is wonderful, kept my attention, I couldn't figure out what the dollar was from...you had me down to the final line...the dollar you've saved is far more meaningful than the dollars that many save from their first sale, or a vacation down payment, your dollar was a down payment on a new life! Congrats my friend stay strong!
Blessings great write,

That dollar to your family, friends and loved ones but especially to yourself is no doubt valued in the millions at today's currency and will continue to grow until the day you die. Great write dear Sue.
