Facing Reality

Recovery can be the biggest blessing you ever receive Yet at the same time also being the highest mountain you have ever had to climb One minute the adrenaline is pumping Then the very next your finding yourself trapped within your or thoughts Stuck facing reality without a clear set of directions Realizing that there is no map to guide you Understanding it looks different for everyone Knowing for some, it may be complete smooth sailing While also knowing that for others, it may also be like trying to stay dry in a monsoon with a faulty umbrella For the first time having to see that it’s OK to not be perfect Seeing your reflection in the mirror A totally different person than you’re used to One who is facing reality head on with pride No longer hiding in the shadows, afraid of what others may think Instead being genuinely yourself with no apologies or lies to hide the truth
