There was a time I couldn\u2019t stop.
I told myself \u201cjust one last drop.\u201d
But one turned into two, then more,
And soon I couldn\u2019t find the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first, I drank to ease the pain,
To feel some joy, to stop the rain.
But after a while, I couldn\u2019t lie,
The drink became my reason why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It took my time, it stole my peace,
It made the good in me decrease.
I lost my way, I lost some friends,
I broke some hearts I couldn\u2019t mend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But then one day, I had enough.
Life had become too dark, too rough.
So I looked up and said a prayer,
And slowly, I found strength somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, I had to tell the truth,
That I\u2019d been drinking since my youth.
Then I took it one step at a time,
One less bottle, one less lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, it was hard I won\u2019t pretend,
But healing comes, it just depends
On faith, support, and holding tight
To better choices, day and night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some days I cried, some nights I shook,
But I kept going, didn\u2019t look
Back at the person I once was,
Because I knew I had a cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then slowly, I began to change.
My thinking cleared, my heart felt strange.
The shame I carried lost its weight,
And I found hope it wasn\u2019t late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I smiled again, I laughed out loud,
I stood up straighter, felt more proud.
And now I speak with truth and grace:
There is a way out of that place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you\u2019re struggling, hear me now,
It can get better, I\u2019ll show you how.
Start with one step, take one day,
And ask for help don\u2019t look away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because you\u2019re not weak, and you\u2019re not lost.
Freedom is real, but it has a cost.
It takes some time, it takes some tears,
But it replaces all those years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now I am free, 100 days and more,
And I don\u2019t want that drink no more.
I remember who I\u2019m meant to be,
Clean, at peace, and truly me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God was with me all the while,
Through every fall, through every trial.
And now I walk, strong and free,
If He did it for me, He can for thee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
