Array ( [sid] => 122417 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Poison Water [time] => 2006-06-27 22:19:50 [hometext] => this is probably really horrible but here it goes [bodytext] => I feel the burning sensation in my stomach
But oh how i love it
I take a sip of this wonderful drug
And all my problems dissolve with one chug
It takes away all my problems and doubts
I ignore all my friends' pleas and shouts
And slowly,my sanity disappears as it starts to kick in
My frown becomes a grin
Once again ive successfully escaped my life
I used to not understand why people did this
Drinking their lives away day by day
I had a heartbreak
Not realizing what was at stake
I grabbed the bottle and drank it down
Digging my hole deeper and deeper into the ground
Getting myself into trouble with boys i didnt even know
Never sex, but still not being able to say no
I had become the kind of girl i hate
How could i think this life was great?
I was a threat to myself
Trapped in my own hell
Whenever things got bad
Wether i was mad,heartbroken,worried or sad
Alchohol was my cure
The feelings of happiness felt so pure
Everyone else around me could see how false it was
Everyday i was consumed by it
I tried to admit
To myself that i had a habit
A 14 year old alcoholic
What were the odds of this
Why was it so hard
It appeared i was scarred
With the burden of a false happiness
Vodka,whiskey,rum,wine...
It didnt matter what kind
Nothing seemed to matter
My life was beginning to shatter
The help from my friends ended it all
I still fight the battle
The one that'll
Free my heart and soul
Fill this empty hole
One day ill be free
And finally be able to be the real me [comments] => 3 [counter] => 255 [topic] => 61 [informant] => liindso14 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

YOur write was good. The topic a hard sad one. You will be free if that where you want to be, I know you can do it. Alcohol is a quick fix but the troubles still remain. I wish you the best. If you need to talk Im a pm away.

God grant me the serenity, to find peace in my life
The wisdom to know wrong from rite
Let the days be better the nights not so long

Let the sorrows from the past now be gone
Give me the strength to face each day
For AA has now showed me the way

HOPE THIS MAY HELP PLEASE CALL FOR HELP
THINKING ABOUT YOU GOD BLESS

There's nothing wrong with the way you have written this and even tho it's sad it's good writing.
You've taken the first and most importent step by admiting that you have a problem.
Hang in there 'cause u r among friends here.
If you ever wonna talk then please pm me. I can listen.
I do know about alcaholism as I use to be married to an alcaholic.
Just take it one step at a time and one day at a time.
Every day that you don't drink then be proud and give yourself credit for that.
Hang in there and I'm always willing to listen.
It's very hard this day and age we live in and what's going on this planet Earth. It's a wonder there's not much more folks with a drinking problem.
Hang in there.
luv, huggs, prayer,
emy
