      Climbing my own mountain I have found a ledge

      Care must be taken to stay clear of the edge

       

      As long as I stay on it I know I have relief

      It keeps me clear of danger from those rocks beneath

       

      When I first got on it, it wasn’t very high

      Life was not so good, in doldrums did I lie

       

      I gave my ledge a name, it was Recovery

      It kept me safe and sound, while I stayed gambling free

       

      Now my ledge rose higher, things were not so low

      But I must still be careful, to avoid the rocks below

       

      Now my ledge is wider, life’s a lot more easy

      But if I look down from the edge, I can still get queasy

       

      Because I can still remember, how hard it was to climb

      And when I tell you now, I’m doing it in rhyme

       

      I am quite happy, that I’ll never reach the top

      Being on my ledge, I’ll never have to stop

       

      Staying on recovery, I still really know

      That I must be aware of those rocks below

       

      Higher, wider on it goes; it is really good

      It gives me more than gambling ever really could

       

      We all have a ledge, you can find one too

      Come on up and join me, you’ll really like the view
