My first Christmas

I'm alive on christmas, / And feeling mixed emotions. / My brother's in the next room, / He's displayed his resent for me / Thoroughly, / This christmas. / So today I am alive, / Five months without a drug or a drink. / I am feeling what life is really like, / No longer numbed, / As I continue climbing the mountain alone, / Looking inward. / Dazzled by the feeling of gratitude, / Strange, / I feel like nothing I've ever known. / I need to prove myself to everyone. / Actions speak louder than words

I don't even know how I'm

I don't even know how I'm feeling. They say it's hard to stay clean for the christmas-new years...how about the other 11.5 months? Just be grateful you'll remember this feeling a year from now, 5 years from now, 20 years from now. Just keep doing what you're doing, don't let yourself be a statistic.
