Heroin Hell

A wonderful account of drug addiction, Heroin is one hell of a drug to overthrow, I feel your pain!

thank you Neurotic one it is indeed one hell of drug..

love Crim

Painful to read... I can't imagine the hell you must be going through, dear Crim

I want nothing more for you then to find peace one day and I truly believe you will!

Love, Duende

thank you lovely Duende the hell is the pain you have to face not using drugs to mask them..

love Crim

Excellent recount and decisive stance, Brenda. I admire you more than you know.

thank you from my heart Sage one..

love Brenda

Sometimes that pain which is difficult to come to terms with can keep you in suspended despair for the remainder of your life. I found a way out of it, can't really explain how, it's all a blur now. But I did, and I am eternally grateful. I'm hoping, my friend, that you will be able to deal with it also.

thank you dearest Jerry you are an inspiration to me of what is possible..

love Brenda

Unholy shit!! so I walk the dry druggie walk <~~Wha?!?! That part killed me! I mean, I don't know if you meant for that to sound so lighthearted, but, it cracked me up.

And, wow! What an ending!

you've finger fucked my soul
It's got a hole in it
It's named Heroin

Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain are rolling over in their graves!! Those legends would have killed to have your ways with words!

aw thank you most graciously Chad.. no I didn't mean it to sound so lighthearted my mind works kind of funny though.. you gave me giggles with your comment made me see things through your eyes lol :)

love Brenda

Giggles!! I'm all about giving some giggles!! Today was a good day!!

Brenda.. pure brilliance.. this is a great ink.. love you!!

thank you Dave love you my brother..

xo Brenda

dearest Brenda you are so strong and so brave, I wish I could be like you - I seem to have aquired many of the terrors you face through prescription drugs and surgical failures - My PTSD knows your world so well.

you cam beat this, I can tell by your words - sweet dreams :-)

dearest David you are a very brave soul to traverse the path that you have been on and stay so strong.. thank you for your love and encouragement..

love Brenda

This so beautifully captures the pain and torment of addiction. Stay strong, I believe in you:)

thank you Eclipse for the uplifting comment..

love Crim

There is a quality to that last couple stanzas that rather reads of looking one's struggles head on and saying "I see you, I know what you're doing...and I will face you anyway."  It's a quiet strength unrealized, I think.  Recognizing your weakness and facing it head on and not letting it have it's way.  Brenda, you are so quietly strong and you don't even see it.  My beautiful friend, much love...
Willow

thank you lovely Willow for seeing something in this write I didn't.. just writing about a problem helps quite a bit.. love you lady..

xo Brenda

Only you can pen such gritty darkness,
and still convey a message in spite of the faint-hearted.
I shall not count the error of your [past] ways.
But I shall count the honesty & brutality in it.
Excellent dark ink, my Queen.
Always a light in darkness, you are.
~I love you, Devlin

thank you my Dark Queen I love you too lovely lady..

xo Brenda

My Beautiful Brenda...I for one can say that I have been privy to your dark writes, holding accounts of every struggle which you have endured and overcome....that word...right there...overcome....you are the strongest person I know and such an inspiration to many, myself included, for within your words, you release the darkness which attempts to weave itself within you and again....you overcome and stand strong...if I could convey in words the love I have for you it would be a miracle...I could never...you have no idea the strength you have within you...a stunning warrior princess...

I love you so very fucking much

xoxo Taryn

my beautiful one you with your love and support have given me time and again something to replace the pain that drugs for so long have masked.. for that and all the wonderful things you are I will love and cherish you forever.. thank you dearest one..

love Brenda

So very aching, Crim, even the page weeps as you tattoo your words onto it.
A struggle to be felt by each and every reader. Your talent is endless, even in a darker place,
perhaps it will light your way back...

thank you lovely Kasai it does indeed light my way back.. love Crim

the hellish grim of pain/ i felt your emotions on this... sometimes we found out who we are through pain and dispair.

you captured this so well  

thank you Sypoetry for feeling me on this write.. love Crim

thank you Adam for your support.. love Brenda

poetry from the place of pain - chaoticwayz hit the lines that hit me - tho like Adam above they left me shaking and praying for a distance and serenity to observe this from
Very very fine write

thank you Whale for feeling those lines and taking a dark trip with me.. love Brenda

I've been to Valium Hell, which might be right next door.  You catch the feeling of a hollow that can never again be filled once opened.  These drugs become the reason to exist, and even in sobriety they can never again be quite shaken.  Writing helps reduce the craving, particularly when it's done with this level of skill and insight.  Magnificent work, Lady Crim!  

thank you Sir Crow yeah Valium hell that's heavy so you know exactly what i'm talking about.. hope writing for you helps the way it does me.. love Crim

This is bravely written, raw with honesty, and cleverly ended.....

thank you most kindly.. love Crim

Addiction the Devil's bitch! You write from a place I've been to. Lots of pain and despair there. Keep fighting, keep writing and stay strong.

thank you dearest Xmar we shall write it out and ride it out! love Brenda
