Life through the eyes of the recently Sober
Stinging clarity
Over aware
Hazy reality
a feeling, bare.
Fresh to the world
thrown from my safety net
spinning, reeling
Can I go home yet?
Thoughts of hate
rage unfiltered
Brief pause,
tranquility ensues
Teeth of the mind
return to their grind
Pain
Mental
Physical
This is too real...

I can appreciate the journey to sobriety as I too have been on it for many years now. It filtered down from quitting hard drugs to cigarettes and recently I have been working on controlling my weed intake. I know it can be hard- but keep going! Even if you relapse just keep in mind what made you want to stop in the first place and keep going. And keep writing too! Your poem is beautiful even though it addresses a difficult situation
