Howdy, I am Sumer (Summer).

This is a collection of poetry from my life’s adventure in recovery.

As I have shared my journey with fellow travels, a few have asked me make my writing available to them. So that’s what blog is for, sharing my recovery.

May it be helpful for you to know you are not alone on your journey in recovery.

My road to recovery started when I learned to love reading, I owe that thanks to Ursula Le Guin. Then there was the introduction to “Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance.” Books. Books. Books started me on a long road of discovering myself, therapy and 12-step programs. This is coming from someone who hated English and spelling and poetry, because it was always way over my head.
