Woven Into The Fabric

An Acrostic. For Real Poetic's One Year Anniversary Challenge.

By Paul StewartPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Acceptance, is as important as recovery

Never-ending nothingness lies at the pit

Never-ending nothingness lies at the pit of reluctancy to change

In the sand, under the covers, and behind

Various screens and devices, distractions

Everything changed, when the demons were driven away

Recovery is not the final destination

Sobriety is not the final destination, it's an ongoing, life-affirming, transformative process

Acceptance of the new replacing the old is as important as recovery

Recovery is not the final destination, it becomes woven into the fabric of your roadmap

Years passed, without that stain, are another part of the journey

Thanks for reading!
