Check out this creative and powerful poem performed by Michael Lee discussing recovery. This video does use strong language and discusses topics that may be sensitive, so please be careful who you watch it around.
I’m sober. That was never my plan. My plan was to go to meetings and therapy in order to get everyone to like me again.
Had I checked out that day I would have sold myself short. I have had so many wonderful things happen in recovery that I would have missed. The marriage of my children…birth of grandchildren…trips to a castle (yes, a real castle)…trips out of the country…trips to the birthplace of AA/NA…trips with friends camping…horseback riding…playing cards…and so many many other things.
Today sometimes I even forget that I was addicted once, and believe it or not a life without narcotics is possible and full of joy.
Today I am the person I have always wanted to be. ME.
Please note this story contains graphic descriptions of violence and domestic abuse.
