Sometimes, you need to remind yourself that you were the one who carried you through the aches and pain. You were the one who sat with the cold, shaking body on the shower floor and picked it up. Now you are the one who feeds it, clothe it, who tucks it into bed at night and wakes it every morning, and you should be proud of that. Having the strength to take care of yourself when you feel like the world is trying to bleed you dry is the strongest thing in the universe. The trauma didn't make you stronger. You did that.

Oh, I wouldn't be here without the support from my family and friends - I've preached that plenty, but I also forget to give myself the credit. At the end of the day, you are accountable to see your recovery through

This is so true. I’m thankful to all who supported me in my recovery but ultimately I did the work. I accepted that I had a problem and got myself into recovery. I been to the bottom and looked the Devil in the eyes, and to come back from that dark abyss is nothing short of a miracle. Which gives me an idea for my next poem! I gotta thank you because if I hadn’t noticed this post I never would have commented on it, if I hadn’t commented on it I might not have gotten this idea, so thank you

Oh, I love that this post inspires you to write! Keep on writing and jot your ideas every time you have one... mine come often if it they are just words... or broken sentences... the feeling is what you should focus on and then proofread/form the literature after
