BEGINNING TO END
In the beginning we never see a future or how our beginning is an unknown journey
Messes made of bodies minds and souls even with best intent we lose ownership undecisive we pay daily rent
Mind's eye open with blinders mass infusion removes 20/20 vision, Perception impossible to visualize when retention is blurry
Hard to nurture an unknown future, fail to feel gain when part of our conception of the addiction is the pain, withdrawal easier that trying to comprehend
Living in an ocean always floundering, current washes us out in a foamy flow living a ride against the tide, perpetual sinking easier on water that is murky
New friendship to replace hardship examples work if listening, best result is strength gained from sharing pain, first truths hardest to transcend
Making our way day by day, open mind policy is here to stay, flexible function permanent not stuck at the junction, moving on easiest when not frozen in worry
First step hard and largest, short paths still open large maps, reading them becomes part of our internal assent
Hard to heal a wound until it is found, injuries remain open when always removing the stitches, discovery best part of recovery
Hard to listen when always apprehensive, shell hard to break when feeling everyone is on the take, true freedom found when knowing we can become our own best friend
Sense of self hardest to find is felt rather from words or from books on a shelf,learn as we go finding something we did not know, basic lessons now part of self-preservation, life can no longer be taken as humbly R.C.

Although a little early, is from having thought of my own sobriety,drug free Birthday ! The lessons taken from this are freedom and honesty with myself.
I admit this started as more of what I still want to show in prose, not to read like a "how to" guide but what has long term sobriety shown me?I often take life as lesson and this has been the the biggest one. so will still works towards showing what I may have gained. appreciate your reading, your thoughts are helpful."Peace Takes Practice" Rick
