Each Day

Difficult
Early days of recovery
Eyes open
Scratchy and sore
Body lethargic and sore

Awkward
Each day
Eyes open
Muscles soften
Strength returns ~ slowly

Determination 
Each day
Eyes open
Family photos
Phone calls filled with love and confusion

Sobriety
Each day
Eyes open
Learning new old ways
Communication mending ~ slowly

And then there’s Treatment.

“A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, 
another time a little smaller.”
~ Paul Klee
