Climbing up from hell

In shadows cast, where demons dwell,

A struggle fought, a tale to tell.

Addictions' grip, a heavy chain,

A battle waged, a soul in pain.

Through veils of darkness, hope remains,

A flicker of light, a soul sustains.

To break free from the binding snare,

A journey starts, a heart laid bare.

In every step, courage must rise,

To face the truth, to see through lies.

To shed the weight that holds us down,

And rise above the tempest's frown.

With strength and will, we must confront,

The ghosts of past, the voices taunt.

To seek support, to find the way,

To brighter skies, a brighter day.

In vulnerability, we find might,

In letting go, we claim the light.

Releasing addictions, chains unwound,

A soul set free, a heart unbound.

Embrace the path of self-renew,

In every step, find strength anew.

The journey's hard, but hope remains,

For freedom's taste, for life regained.

With every day, a stronger stride,

In sobriety, we find our pride.

A life reborn, a heart's delight,

As addictions' hold fades from sight.

So let us celebrate the soul's release,

Breaking chains, finding inner peace.

In every victory, a life restored,

A journey taken, a spirit soared.
