Day 70 – Promise Land Glimpse (reflection/prayer)
Seventy days.Not seventy clean, not seventy pretty—but seventy returns.I caught a glimpse today—of the peace You promised,the life You said was possible.God, let me keep walking toward it.
Sharp, honest takes that hit hard and fast
Seventy days.Not seventy clean, not seventy pretty—but seventy returns.I caught a glimpse today—of the peace You promised,the life You said was possible.God, let me keep walking toward it.
Recovery feels like a dirt road through nowhere.But I’ve been lost before,and this ain’t that.This is heading home.
The voice told me I could handle “just one.”I laughed in its face.Because I know how that movie ends—and I’m tired of re-runs.
Got carried by my people today.Didn’t ask, didn’t want to.They showed up anyway.That’s recovery. That’s grace.
Life’s been chaos. Work, family, program sideways.But I strapped in and didn’t bail.Sometimes the ride just sucks, but bailing makes it worse.
Addict brain said I was burned out.Dead wood.Ash heap.God said, “Strike the match.”Now I’m glowing again.
Sixty days.Didn’t earn a medal.Barely earned a nap.But I’m still here.Still walking.Still not quitting.
I know the on-ramp.I’ve taken it before.Food in the passenger seat,shame in the trunk.But today I passed it.Flipped it the bird,kept driving.
The mirror lies.Says I’m fat, broken, behind.But the truth? I’m showing up. I’m fighting.And that reflection matters more than what I see.
Whisper softer,scream louder,I don’t care.Fuck off, addiction—you’ve had enough rent-free timein my skull.
