Sobriety is a journey…
Of broken dreams….Renewed
Of withered faith…Revived
Of self esteem…Reborn.

It is a road not walked alone,
but in the company of many,
Where tears are understood,
Pain -- an avenue to freedom,
And fear an accepted response.

It is a way of life…
Where the gift encountered
Is hope.
