How do I feel today. An affirmation.

One step made towards sobriety.

Expressing my thoughts and feelings through writing. Dreadful day before sobriety.

Even when you expect it, it still comes as a surprise.

Having it all, losing it all, going to prison and now having the best in life. Alcoholism is a serious addiction. Many people never recover; they die in the depths of the disease. Some of us are fortunate to find our way clear to make the choice for sobriety in our life and the new life it offers. Coming from the depths of despair to a fulfilling and rewarding life; I’m there!

A look at a sober life.

About realization that some things cannot be changed, and that you have to make the best of your life and be yourself, not try to hide behind false masks (in this poem alcohol, but it could be anything else people use as a form of escapism). Often the very thing that people believe is taking away their problems is actually what is causing them.

My experience relapsing on a past drug addiction, and my personal empowering strategy that brought me back to a stronger recover.

Staying clean and sober.

Find a way to stay off drugs.
