What have I learned, during my time here in Rainbow.
To be humble and be honest and you might just be able to let the pain go.
I’ve learned to give addiction the respect that it is due, if you fail to treat it with vigilance it’s sure to come for you.
I’ve learned to respect myself, and others alike, but I’m not giving in yet, not while I have strength to fight.
Rainbow has been my home, for the past three months, and all my peers my family who have supported me through all the bumps.
I arrived here lost and broken, with three words to be spoken
Enough is enough,
This is it now, I hope that I’m made of the right stuff.
I had to relearn, how to communicate my needs, it has been no easy feat but I’ve exhausted all the leads.
I left no stone unturned and took every minute as a prisoner, it was the only way to preserve my life and come out on top a winner.
Complacency is only one bad day away, but sobriety is my way of life now, and its principles are here to stay.
I’ve made my choice and embraced it gratefully, I hope you all do the same, it’s up to all of you now, to go out the way I came.
I do not say this lightly and you will all be in my prayers, I plead you put the work in and challenge your doubts and fears.
Live laugh and love, life needn’t be so tough.
I will forever be thankful, for my time here in Rainbow. And I will forever be in awe, of what can be achieved, when we are unified with the same goal.
I leave you all with fond farewells, and memories that will not fade. You will forever be a part of the sturdy foundation I have made.
