It came about after a prolonged period of meditation, having the same image come up in my mind's eye over and over - A Closed Door in the middle of a giant hall. Someone said write about it and I did; hence this poetry and the concept, then 175 Missing Pieces and all the rest of the books on recovery and now workshops and seminars on spiritual recovery. Neil

I am alone and my world is a dangerous place
It has been my belief since my earliest memory that “I am alone and my world is a dangerous place”.
My life seems to affirm this to me daily.
I have found that I only can acquire the relief and happiness that I think I want by doing something or getting something. There are times when I feel I am so desperate, lost and alone.
I have learned that when my best efforts fail me that I have gathered habits along the way that I can depend on.
These habits are creations from outside of me and they are "magical".
They take their form as substances, actions or facilities, things that I use daily just to get by on.
I know that I can always reach out to them and they can be relied on.
