The Before and the After Written July 24, 2023 (Day 939) For Gratitude Day July 28, 2023
As I write this piece on my 939th day of total sobriety, there is no question in my mind that writing and taking the time to express myself thoughtfully has been a big part of my recovery. It is instructive to look at old photos just to realize how bad I was.
I hope you’re having a beautiful day. ♡ Today we’re celebrating another JohnnyO Gratitude Day!
This is a 5-minute excerpt of a 35-minute interview by Arnie Carter with John Olander, our first generous poet on under1000skies.org. Features two of John’s poems, “Hello Fear” and the first poem John ever wrote six years ago, “History Shelf.” John talks candidly about his life on the street, his addiction, what he loves about being a poet, and how he has triumphed since. Congrats, John! Thank you so much.
