I AM SOBER – A poem by David Ritter

I am sober and that’s okay
I’ll make it through another day
For me it’s harder than you think
Living my life without a drink

Some days can be really rough
And I want to say I’ve had enough
But I can’t give up and so I’ll try
Because If I fail I could die

So if you could please understand
Life for me is not always grand
My addiction is only a part of me
There’s much more for you to see

I am trying the best way I can
Far from perfect I’m just a man
Struggles will erupt from a broken me
Please pray for healing and victory

This recovery is not always bad
A sooner start I wish I had
But I’ll make it through another day
I am sober and that’s okay
