“Hi there!” Surprised she looked up “I thought I’d just thank you & believing I could be saved, Overcoming hurdles, the weather & overwhelm That I may become a roof once more.” She opened her eyes Wow that was some dream An #illusion? Or my mind Cheering me to carry on #vss365

#Addiction preys on #sobriety Some say a #Wolf in sheep’s clothing, But does it hide its scorn In that little bag, While enticing those Alone in Life’s forest? Perhaps be more Robin— Who fiercely defend their territory Year-round Protect sobriety and let it protect you #vss365

#Addiction sneered “Your support is useless For I create a hunger So #ravenous that its ferocity cannot be satisfied.” #Sobriety smiled “You only hold control Until ‘enough’ gives strength to soul To stop, revive, refocus, restart.” Where there is a will There is a way #vss365

Sleep evaded her. Misery stood with her at the dock of 3am. They watched a boat named Let Go Push through waves of worry Until it reached her. She stepped aboard Letting tranquillity carry her Deep into night’s cradle In the morning, #elated Stood beside her. #vss365

#Addiction So many unanswered questions. The struggles-oh, the struggles Families wring hands What protections are there What safety measures are there What confusions led To this perilous journey? Perhaps the answer is finding signs & #cheering for #sobriety’s support #vss365

Her plan thwarted To #start or change Today’s task. In between calm Nature whipped winds So wild, Only trees with solid Foundations held strong. Life’s choices have many voices; She took heed of this warning. Perhaps write a poem— Give frustration room For outpouring #vss365

This weather is thwarting my DIY Tarps are akimbo &water is seeping where my flashing should be But oh joy, the chance to start reading @blsamaddar “She taped Henry’s latest scribble to the wall,” &I’m taping ‘The Sand Diamond’ to my spare time You’ve hooked me in dear BethanyđŸ«¶

She mused about her childhood days Training in a swimming pool haze. Twice a day swimmers stroke away Ready to #taper for competition day Strength Stamina Suppleness Learning from defeats Reassessing, refocusing, restarting 
 A bit like the flow of life #vss365

She watched As rain hammered her DIY. All good, she thought No leaks, she smiled A day off—deserved A drip called to her Hey you, not so fast If you want this roof to last You better get up here fast #doubt threw in a towel She picked it up & used it to find the source #vss365

Years ago I found myself in A&E Unsure what the next stage would be No-one knew the cause for sure But said,“Take a tablet—that’s the cure.” I chose to heed this warning day: UPFs left right upon the shelf, A strict #Commitment to myself Today, health is still my wealth #vss365

She surveyed her DIY Not in her day plan The weather dampening enthusiasm. It didn’t take much! This next phase made her feel #Nervous But today— A surge of optimism A “get a grip and just do it And so she did. Whatever you do, do something #vss365 #DIY

Training—what is it Restrictive? Pushing heavy weights from A to B? Pumping blood to pumping Music Elevating hearts to beat stronger, longer Bending into positions that Defy logic Or perhaps, It’s just about enabling A life of independence Where we can be free To roam #vss365

No, I don’t remember eating #sneakers! Not sneakers, Snickers! The two friends, laughed—as comfortable together as loved sneakers nestling along side comfortable memories, True friendship, They didn’t meet often, but when they did it was as if they’d never been apart #vss365

The car sat alone Not often on its own It felt a chill Emanate From the garage MOT Bay “Don’t worry They know what they’re doing I’m their pick up truck They’re honest They care & won’t charge the #Unexpected” The car felt warmed Sometimes We just need a friendly voice #vss365
