I don't want Wonderland~end game
I can say i'm clean today
& I don't desire meth
crave it yes
want it no
when the craving comes
I remind myself it's there for the getting
but why I don't want it anymore
it will always be there
if the world should get too hard
right now I want to be clean for the holidays
not high or coming down
so I stopped eight days ago
gave myself time to rest
when I wanted to create
but felt unable
I told myself it's okay
take care of yourself
when I counldn't drag myself out of bed
I allowed myself sleep
i'm feeling better now
not healed but better
& I know it can be done
so long as I want to be well
I know I like the high
but feel the price tag too heavy
the come downs too great
I don't want to get high today
just to come down that hard again
I no longer desire Wonderland
Alice can keep it

This is a great, you're doing a great thing by getting sober.
I struggled for years with a pretty serious opioid addiction, find a reason being sober and run with it.
Slowly try to recognize the reason you felt the need to be high in the first place, and overcome it.
It will get better, and remember that even if you have to live second by second, every step forward is a little farther ahead then you were yesterday!

So glad to see your pen here again Raven.
Keep it up, even if you're not in the mood to write, find anything to take your mind off
"Wonderland" for you know it's only an illusion, the opening to an abyss.
Thinking and pulling for you each day.
Teri

There's a difference between craving and wanting, as you wisely point out. I truly hope you can stay clean for the holidays, and beyond. Loved this write in its entirety, and particularly the tough last lines.
