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

Anxiety in Sobriety

Feeling so alone in a crowded room 
Missing your friends while finally seeing who your true friends are 
Wanting to get out and go have fun
But realizing your old ideas of fun only ever landed you in trouble 
Starting to see what everyone else was seeing all along
Ashamed of who you were before
Knowing you never would have gotten where you are now without being that person 
Conflicted by your own thoughts and emotions 
Feelings start rushing back that you had blocked out
Your heart starts pounding as if it will burst out of your chest 
Unsure of how to survive your new journey through sobriety 
Keeping your inner circle small
Reaching out to everyone on your list
Expressing your anxiety 
Explaining every little trigger 
Praying they will understand
They tell you to breath it’s ok to not be ok
