Here is a collection of early recovery poems from an alcoholic, sharing the challenges, breakthroughs, and hope found on the path to sobriety. These poems offer a glimpse into the raw emotions and experiences of addiction and recovery, providing inspiration and support for those navigating similar journeys.

The First Step

I took the first step today,

On a path I've never been,

A path that leads to sobriety,

And a life free from sin.

I'm scared, I'm nervous, and I'm weak,

But I'm determined to succeed,

To overcome this addiction,

And to live a life that I can be proud of.

The Struggle

The struggle is real, I can't deny,

The cravings are strong, and the temptations are high,

But I'm fighting, I'm fighting with all my might,

To stay sober, to stay on track, and to stay alive.

I'm not perfect, and I've made mistakes,

But I'm learning from my failures,

And I'm growing stronger every day,

One step at a time, one day at a time.

The Breakthrough

I had a breakthrough today,

A moment of clarity, a moment of grace,

I realized that I'm not alone in this fight,

That there are others who have walked this path before me.

I found strength in their stories,

And hope in their triumph,

And I know that I can do this too,

I can overcome this addiction, and I can live a life that I love.

The Hope

I have hope for the future,

A future free from addiction,

A future filled with love, laughter, and purpose,

A future that I can be proud of.

I'm not there yet, but I'm on my way,

One step at a time, one day at a time,

And I'm confident that I will reach my destination,

And that I will live a life that is truly worth living.

If you are struggling with addiction, please know that you are not alone. There is hope, and there is help available. Reach out to a friend, family member, or treatment professional, and take the first step towards recovery. You deserve to live a life free from addiction, a life that is filled with love, laughter, and purpose.
