STAY Poems on sobriety, recovery, and the life that waits by D. Vincent DeLorenzo >This one stays. STAY is a quiet companion for anyone who has ever stood at the edge of a drink, a habit, a relapse, or a moment that could undo everything they've worked for. > >It is a book about choosing to stay anyway. Inside these pages are poems for: - early mornings when your hands still shake - afternoons when the old voice returns - nights when staying sober feels louder than the world - moments of shame, clarity, relapse, and return - the quiet pride of waking up clear - the slow rebuilding of trust, routine, and self >Only small truths, written by someone who understands that recovery is not dramatic most days, it is persistent. STAY is for: - anyone in recovery - anyone thinking about getting sober - anyone loving someone who is trying - anyone who needs a few honest words to get through the day >You don't have to read it all at once. >Open it when the urge feels close. Open it when you need a reminder of why you chose this life. >It only promises this: You are not alone. You are not weak. And staying is enough for today.
