[hometext] => I have always used the drink to numb my feelings, I have come along way, down to drinking twice a week, ................it is hard sometimes...
[bodytext] => My addiction is the drink,
Even though it makes me sink,
Deep into a dark depression,
Every week I make an exception.
I crave the drink every day,
Every time things don’t go my way,
I run & hide inside a bottle,
When pain comes at me full throttle.
Sometimes hurt is hard to hide,
& I let alcohol take me on a ride,
To another place & time,
Makes my sense turn into a rhyme.
I know that I should just say No,
But through my body my cravings flow,
I wish I could take everything on the chin,
Instead I let my resistance wear thin.
I am weak when it comes to the beer,
I never should have let it come near,
To my mind when I felt pain,
In my addiction I have nothing to gain.
My G.P once called me an alcoholic,
It shocked my system something chronic,
I don’t drink all day, but I do binge,
Leaving myself feeling unhinged.

| This is a really good poem, its good to get things out, exspecially in poetry. I suffered problems with addiction, I was addicted to weed for about 4 years, alot of people say its not a real addiction, and its not a real drug, but it is. Any drug that makes you feel good ruins your life. Dont take anything that makes you feel good kids! |

Recognizing and accepting you have a problem is the biggest step. It is a demon only you can slay and when you tire of the repercussions it causes you will remove it from your life. You are strong so just keep moving ahead, Krissy. You will make it.
Love n hugs,

So Sorry dear Pixie, but I know you are made of good stuff......or you wouldn't have posted this very frank and honest poem.
I won't worry about you tho, because I know if you recognize what your addiction is, you will either quit or perhaps go for help. That's my prayer for you.
Beautifully written poem Pixie,
My oldest son is an Alcoholic......still has grave problems with it.......I can understand. |

I like the honesty and the emotion, you've done the hard bit in accepting this, you sound like a strong and caring lady, and I think you'll be just fine.
Excellent poem
Love Dawny xxx |

I was an alcoholic by the age of 16! Yup! It isn't the amount you drink or the frequency, it's the cravingggggg that makes it an addiction. I quit at age 21, the legal drinking age in the US. I have been sober ever since. Life deals us hardships and it takes strength to overcome them from a sober mind. I wish you all the luck in finding that strength. :-)
Angel always...joni |
