watching the news seeing the snow storms in the north made me nostalgic thinking about all the blizzards i would go out in, no matter the conditions, to make sure i have what i needed in active addiction—
god has allowed me to
create a life today full of love,
healing, creative magic,
the obsession to use drugs removed, and sometimes
life goes by so fast and I feel like
a completely different person
that I don’t stop and think about
my sobriety as much as I used
too-
but the fact drugs/alcohol isn’t
the first thing I think about when
my eyes open and shut
everyday, is something that I
didn’t think was possible even
during my last sobriety stint (3
years)-
even though I was sober I didn’t
begin the healing of what made
me need to self sooth
i am grateful today
that my body is filled
with warm, fuzzy, gratitude
during cold weather; creating
art detailed with released feelings
and vibrational
alignment
instead of cold days,
sitting in a car with no heat,
in a parking lot in providence,
frost bitten toes
—- without the knowledge
that one day I will be defrosted
and freed from the freezing
hold of addiction
there is hope
and there is help
you can
recover too
I didn’t think it was possible to live a life without substances- you can recover too-
if you are tired and stuck and don’t know where to start- reach out to me. artbytaylorredler@gmail.com
