Seasons of Sobriety
poetry + prose

Seasons of Sobriety was originally written as a therapeutic outlet during a period filledwith darkness. As time went on, however, the writing evolved into something moreenlightened. The purpose of this book, which begins with the journey toward addictionand ends with a sober-curious mindset, is to offer encouragement and inspiration, aswell as to illustrate through poetry and prose that a powerful potential exists within everyperson, ready to be awakened. The book is divided into four chapters that representthe seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer, and autumn) because each seasonrepresents a different phase of the journey: impulsivity, healing, abundance, andrenewal. As you travel through the seasons, you feel the impact of the poetry as itrelates to the natural world. The book will start with the darkness of winter but keepreading to find the brilliant colors in autumn. If you are trapped in the dark, the poems inthis book will offer tools and thought-provoking ideas to help you find the light.
