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
