Another poem about #fnd

First 'official' day at the FND Clinic at UPMC.

4 hour intake,
lots of water,
and lots of hope.

Recovery may be possible,
and I might believe it.
Let's see what happens...

It's my (belated) soberversary.
4 years sober.
5 years clean.

No AA
No NA
Only Zazen
And Mother nature.

Day 3 of treatment at the FND clinic.

My team is incredible.

Not every FNDer gets proper treatment, and I am incredibly grateful to be here. 🙏

Lightning Struck Saguaros,
rooted in desert dirt.
Dragonflies making love.
As below, so above.
Hummingbirds sing
as they feed
on the blood of Hibiscus.
Nosotros son jovenes
de Goddess Mother Earth.
The great mystery
The creator
The ruler of our world.

I've been in treatment for only three weeks, and I was able to walk the dog with just us and the cane yesterday.

Regaining my (fierce) independence,
one day at a time.

💪💪💪
