Freed from Weed

Written by, Ari K.

Freed from Weed
(Sobriety freed my mind from substance slavery.)
Addicted to WEED?
I was indeed.  Now I’m FREE!

Now I go my way more consciously
Parts of my spirit are more grounded, see?
The scope of the world widened when Iet go.
I can’t manage now,
I can however grow.

Things I didn’t expect have arrived,
gifts given from the universe, divine.
The mid point almost broke me, looking at my end.
I went so long
with nothing to lose.

Now I have so much, too much
but I can see it morphing, evolving.

Addicted to WEED?
I was indeed.  Now I’m FREE!

  • To God with Love, Goodbye to Drugs

    Written by, Regina H. God, I get so disgusted with myselfWhen I refuse to knock the drugsBlow it away with one giant breath,Breath in beauty and blow out death. The pain is like saying farewellTo the potions that made me do dares wellFar away was never far enough to run,Chasing that next hit hasn’t been…

  • Progress Not Perfection

    Written by, Mariska P. The Fourth MA Conference meant progress and letting go for me.  Just under two years ago, it was “us” versus “them” and now it is “we”, a true unified entity of marijuana addicts in recovery. My how far we have come. Imagine through all the different opinions and personalities, Marijuana Anonymous…

  • Carrying the Message

    Written by, Andi A. The Twelfth Step tells us, having had a spiritual awakening as the result of the Steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts and to practice these principles in all our affairs. I learned very early on in MA that service would help to keep me sober. It kept…

  • Hugs, Service and Sobriety

    Written by, Tina K. Words can’t begin to express my feelings or explain the love that was generated through the 1991 World Conference. When I got clean and sober almost 18 months ago, I honestly didn’t think I’d have a good time doing it! I had a chance to be of service this weekend and…
