First Sober Birthday! – Day 188, Never Give Up On Your Dreamz

My first birthday completely sober from any substance!
What can I say?
I’m grateful for the walk God put me on instead of staying slumped in,
A ditch I thought I’d never climb out of after tripping over so many bumps on a road where running is not an option.
A road where a slow pace wins the race against the clock,
And,
A shadow trying its best to envelop your soul in its darkness…

Shadows I’d never allow to haunt me,
Again,
Shadows I shine a light on to keep it oppressed,
From every bit of oxygen pumping throughout a chest,
Full of treasures I’ve yet to discover…

A trove of delight as priceless as each day I wake from my slumber.
Nothing satisfies quite like that moment in time where your eyes flutter,
In the face of a monster who believed to have had your number.
A number only angels should have access to.
A call you shouldn’t miss no matter what tries to grab at you.
Pulling your hands away from a loving truth we all must hear from time to time.
How we’re meant for more than a moment where we’re drunk and high just,
Watching life passing us by…

My first birthday!
Completely sober.
Oh,
How my mind can’t believe it.
I guess,
Pain really does pass as long as we find that reason…
