Abstract
This poem was extracted from a larger study exploring the experience of serenity in persons recovering from alcohol/drug addiction in 12-step programs. The piece was shaped using the search for serenity through the eyes of a person in recovery. It maintains the storytelling tradition of 12-step programs while retaining the unique experience of the storyteller through her own eyes. It reflects her struggle toward sobriety from the self-loathing of a person in the throes of addiction—the person in the mirror that she was ashamed of—to the acceptance of herself as reflected in growth, self-respect, and self-love.
