This letter was sent to me from a treatment center as
follows.
I work in a detox center and recently I have ran into a client that has been
sober now for 2 years and was given this poem in which he wrote. I would
like to submit it to you.
I will recover from my addiction
you will see
Soon all this pain will be behind me
My future ahead and my mind
now free
I can see farther along and
more clearly
The road behind is broken and bent,
twisted and rough
The path I followed was dreary and cold,
no one to talk to and no one to hold.
One day at the end of my rope, no reason to live
not even some hope, I came to a fork in the road
and decided enough is enough.
Although afraid of a new path, I took the first step,
scared of the unknown but tired of my past.
Little did I know this was just the start,
a way to fill an empty heart.
The road still winds, but now I see where I want to be
without the fog in my head and a demon chasing me.
I travel this road one step at a time,
thankful to my God that I am still alive.
Each day I gain strength in my once
broken heart, I travel in faith which is mine to keep,
I pray for myself each night before sleep. Me and my
faith never again will part.
As the days go by, each different than the last
I make new memories and let go of the past.
I will recover, just wait and see,
for now I understand how important it is
to take care of ME!! |
