Lord Forgive Me

Every day is a step in a long, intricate dance with destiny. Every morning, I wake up to the bright light of sobriety, a radiant feeling that seeps into the pores of my life and nourishes the roots of my dreams. Those thirsts for alcohol, once wild torrents of need, have now been tamed to trickles. They are relegated to the furthest corners of my consciousness, becoming faint whispers gradually drowned out by a chorus of ambition and aspirations. Each day, I wake up, my mind as clear as a mountain stream. My thoughts are no longer clouded with the bitter aftertaste of regret and the gnawing pain of the previous night’s indulgences. Instead, they are fertile soil, nurturing the seeds of visions that germinate in the daylight of sobriety. I tend to these dreams, watering them with discipline and daily routine. I’ve come to know that it’s the small victories, those daily successes, that gradually accumulate to overturn a lifetime of pain and self-destruction. Of course, there’s a constant hum of anxiety beneath the calm surface. It’s a sharp reminder that I am still human, that I am as susceptible to the ebb and flow of life as anyone else. Life continues to surge around me like a storm-tossed sea, events occur beyond my control, and all I can do is hold my ground, bracing against the waves, and focus on what I can control: my actions, my thoughts, my journey. The past is a ghost, a shadow of my former self that lingers in my memory. I’ve tripped, stumbled, fallen face-first into the mud of life, but today, I stand taller because of it. I ask for forgiveness, not from others, but from the universe itself, the omnipotent weaver of destinies that has me in its grand tapestry. And I feel its silent acquiescence, its approval echoing in the very fiber of my being. In this cosmic panorama, most people remain unaware of their roles, of their potential, blinded by the immediacy of life’s tribulations. But I’ve been fortunate, or perhaps chosen, to be gifted with this perspective, this clarity of vision. I document my life, day by day, step by step, leaving a legacy, a blueprint for others to follow. Work is no longer an obligation; it’s a mission, a vessel carrying me toward my dreams. My brain is my most potent weapon, and I am learning to wield it with mastery. I’m utilizing its boundless potential, exploiting every neuron to elevate my family to our earthly paradise. And for this, I am grateful.
