I choose sober truths every day
Embracing alcohol as whispered dangerous myth
I confess profound pain without intoxication
Drunk pretenses decay inside desperate shadows
Sober, I honor my frail being
A fragile heart seeks honest respite
Addiction labels haunt yet empower me
I mourn illusions of numb clarity
Sincerity anchors deeper than shimmering dregs
Honesty fights fervently against drunken denial
My spirit trembles without liquid lies
I bathe in precious raw truth
Each sober step rebuilds shattered foundations
Yearning compels me beyond self-deception boundaries
I claim power over painful admission
Life demands harsh honesty constant grace

I hear a meeting being held at the top of twelve steps. A lovely write.
Yeah I'm heading to a meeting now brother. I'll have five years sober on March 28th and I truly take it one day at a time.
BRAVO
