It took a long time before I could finally see
How cigarettes, drugs and alcohal had a hold on me
I struggled for years to break free
We all have problems to some degree
I pray someday you’ll find the key
Harmful choice’s has a fee
Still some will be lost at sea
Life has no guarantee
So be all you can be
Hope you agree with my plea
Sobriety is what we all should strived to see

I also struggle with addiction. It’s like I don’t even want it, but it was all I could think about until I eventually gave in time and time again.
Here’s to no longer being lost at sea
Thank you so much writerchick99 for the feedback, its nice to know someone liked my work! I am a quadriplegic, paralysis from the chest down, been in a wheelchair for about 37 years now, its been a long hard road for me! tried to show people they are stronger than they know! addictions are hard to kick, took me years to beat all mine. one at a time! there is hope! you’ve got to want to beat it. its about changing one’s mind-set and seeing addiction for what it is and knowing you can a have a better life. I have one more poam about addiction, it sounds more judgemental ! Its not meant to be though. its religious! Don’t know if I should post it.
I hope you find your inner strength too writerchick99
Honestly, people post religious stuff on here all the time. Although if you’re aware your poem comes off as judgmental even though it’s not supposed to, I’d suggest reworking it and changing the parts that seem judgmental before you post.
