Growth is Possible


newly sober
scrubbed and clean
openings hard to find
recognition of opportunity forgotten
misplaced in years of jumbled and tumbled chaos
chances erased
opportunity yet to be unearthed

Sobriety is a tough nut to crack
Heavy lifting just begun
Human spirits soldier on despite
the mess behind and an uncertain future ahead
Openings are found where sobriety lives.

“And you know what the worst thing was? The worst thing
was that nobody ever believed how hard we tried.”
~ Jack McCarthy
