My Sobriety Poem

I wrote this poem in November 2008, four months after I giving up drinking alcohol. Keeping a sobriety journal allows me to look back and see how how far I have come.

I do not profess to be a poet and I am working on my grammar, but these words still ring true to me today.

Finding freedom at last
Finding me finally
Letting go of the past
Growing slowly

Years have past
Friendships grown and lost
Two new souls brought into the world
New life brings new memories

Time to move aside
Cast away all doubts
There are others who need my strength
Everything makes more sense

 Everything has changed
A little on the outside
Much on the inside

How do you feel? Has sobriety changed you for the better? Are you struggling with your sobriety? Have you tried writing as a way to convey your feelings? What do you do to make sense of sobriety?

Please feel free to share with us.
