it’s hard because a lot of the time recovery doesn’t feel like winning.
it doesn’t feel like freedom and happiness.
recovery isn’t always laughing over lunch with friends.
it’s not constantly feeling like the strongest person in the world.
times like those you’ve got to remember just because it doesn’t feel like winning
even though it doesn’t feel like freedom and happiness
neither does it feel like coldness and hunger
no longer are you fading away
so maybe it isn’t laughing over lunch with friends
or feeling like the strongest person in the word
but neither is it dying alone in your bedroom
and you know you’re stronger than you were before
recovery isn’t always going to feel great
it’s not always going to be the best
but recovery isn’t going to kill you
it’s a whole lot better than the alternative
