Recovery in progress ~Awkward, chugging start into a sunshine glare
streaming brazenly into a life cleaned and cleaning.
Bags and baggage put down
or reshaped and repurposed
new baggage picked up and tested for weight and durability.
myths of a brief respite or
addiction not really the problem or
just a lack of self control or
the desire to drink/drug ‘normally’ whispers too loud.
no orange street signs and cones,
traffic wardens directing slow or ahead or stop
merely those that have gone before and know the road ahead
an energetic stance a smiling face,
a change in attitude
all in flux,
plain acceptance of life situations
re shaping circumstance but not forcing crisis
daily with end point in the distance,
not always a clear starting point to be marked
except maybe the day or hour of actions on the decision for recovery.
builds spirit and emotional strength slowly and steadily
~ always a journey.
“A little here and a lettle there will always accumulate, so why
be surprised when steady, small steps take you to great places?”
~ Richelle E. Goodrich
