Drug Free at Last
By AR
Mind, body, and soul still you uphold
From the toxins that had you controlled
Because of your blinded eyes
They appeared as gold
Many days you said you would leave that road
But for many times under pressure you had fold
But now that’s no more load for you to hold
And when I say drug free I’m bold
Yes I because now I’m me
And as strong as I can be
But never looking down at those lower than me
And only looking higher for more to achieve
So when you look at me only believe
That my old habits finally let go of me
And know thanks to God
I’m Drug Free At Last

I really like this poem. I love the emotion and thought put into it, and I love the style of the piece.
Being clean takes a lot of courage. I have had periodical moments using drugs, but I find being drug free makes the sun shine brighter. I will always cherish red wine, but I know I have put other drugs behind me. I commend you on your courage, you are bold. Excellent blog, I really enjoyed your insight. Keep up the good work.

I kept coming back to this one. I especially liked “… because now I’m me / And as strong as I can be / But never looking down at those lower than me / Only looking higher for more to achieve…” Be proud of your sobriety, reach for the stars, you’re on the right path to regain your future.
Congratulations! I know from experience how difficult it is to get clean, especially when in the system. Don’t lose sight!
“Thank God Almighty, I’m free at last!” Congratulations and stay strong!!
