Words of Recovery: 3 poems about healing from addiction

Introduction

This week’s post is a little different. The way I started writing was actually through poetry, in elementary school. After doing some research, I learned that people were looking for addiction recovery poems but there aren’t many online. I had already been writing some, but didn’t save the file when restarting my laptop. So these are three fresh (at the time of publishing this post) poems about the “highs” and lows of addiction recovery, written by someone who has become free from many addictions while still having a few that the Most High is healing. I appreciate those who visited my site, as well as those who paved the way before me to be as healed as I am today. Hope you enjoy the poems.

1. Keep going

From torment

Forward, to mentioned

Torn image, worst sentence;

More blessings, Soul Healing

Rectification

is a moment away

Change

in an instant

180

Son graced me

All praise

to the Highest Power who saved me

We won’t fade away anyway

It’s all a Love story anyway

Who wants to say

they gave it all away

for drugs anyway?

So trudge anyway

2. Haiku about exercise healing addiction

Breathe in, then breathe out

A moment of clarity

Just move your body

3. From/to

From pain to purpose

From selfish to servin

was hurtin from serpents

now healing and swervin

your light is still workin

it cannot be extinguished

as long as you keep up

with your meaning for being

it’s all for a reason

things can fall into place

just trust in the presence

of the force that can save

In Jesus name we’ve prayed

Conclusion

May these poems unlock healing in the still sick and suffering, and maybe even remind those who have broken free about what a blessing it is to recover. Thank you for reading until the end. May the Lord watch over you and yours.
