Before I
Relapse
Poems from my first recovery
The book
These poems were written while recovering from crystal meth addiction. Prayers, letters never sent, grief for the friend I lost, and the strange, stubborn humor of learning to live again. Nothing here is polished into a lesson. It is a record of what it felt like.
For anyone trying to recover. For anyone wondering if they’ll make it out. For anyone who loves someone going through it.
This book includes drug use, suicide, and grief. If you are struggling, you can call or text 988 in the US.
