In a world where darkness once held sway, I found myself lost in the haze, led astray, Drugs and alcohol, they had their grip so tight, Blinding my vision, clouding my inner light. But deep within, a flicker of hope remained, A voice whispering, "You can break these chains." With courage as my guide, I took that first step, Embarking on a journey where I'd no longer be inept. From the bottom, I rose, with a newfound strength, Leaving behind the shadows, embracing life at length, No longer bound by substances that held me down, I found my true self, standing on solid ground Through the darkness, I emerged, a phoenix reborn, A testament to resilience, a spirit not torn, With every passing day, I reclaimed my power, Choosing a path where sobriety would flower. Friends and family rallied, offering support, Encouraging me forward, a new life to court, Together we celebrated each sober milestone, Knowing that the hardest battles had been won. From the bottom, I rose, with a newfound strength, Leaving behind the shadows, embracing life at length, No longer bound by substances that held me down, I found my true self, standing on solid ground. Oh, the beauty I discovered in the sober embrace, A world vibrant and clear, a newfound grace, With open eyes, I saw life's wonders unfold, Every moment cherished, every story untold. Now I walk with purpose, inspiring others in my wake, Sharing my story, the journey I partake, For in my darkest days, I never imagined, That from the depths, a new life could be fashioned. So if you're struggling, know you're not alone, There's a path to freedom, where your spirit can be known, Reach out for help, for there are hands to guide, Together we'll conquer, casting shadows aside. From the bottom, we'll rise, with a newfound strength, Leaving behind the shadows, embracing life at length, No longer bound by substances that held us down, We'll find our true selves, standing on solid ground. Remember, the journey is worth the fight, You're not alone, and there's always a guiding light.
