In the case of Me versus Addiction

You’re a testament to the fact you keep on bouncing back. We’ll start calling you the comeback kid.

We still love ya, fella. Regardless.

And that poetry, well that’s not to shabby either. But the real is what you do well.

I’d say thank you for sharing, but I’d mean thank you for living even more.

Hullo

comeback kid is better than basketball. thanks, lady

Addiction is ridiculous. Its also unpredictable. And most definitely thee hardest thing in my life. All of my addictions. Hugs and love to you <3  

Hullo

I bet you're a happy drunk at least :)-

many thanks for your visit and thoughts, lady

That all depends....love to you. xoxox <3

You hit bottom and you bounce back up, this is how this shit works.
Reflective poem because I dont know one person who hasnt been there.

Hullo

wise words, lady

as yazoo sang with her plastic population: the only way is up :)-


thanks much for thoughts, lady

Such strength in You gives me pride Lepp.
To ride today clean thinking/feeling yesterdays tug...what a MF!!!
To know You've gone and are going through such pain breaks my heart...The good should never suffer such.
I am just grateful You are still here with us and fighting the good battle, god knows I'll always be at Your side...couldn't think of You not by mine.

This Write pens the anguish down to a T
To express is to understand and inspect, to express it openly is to accept.
Not everyone can jump such hurdles, let alone try...yet there You are-Always at it !!!

Hullo

one of those things, man. no matter how high the hurdle someone somewhere has a whole line of taller ones to jump

one doesn't have to look far


kudos, G

thanks bunches for your thoughts

Hullo

very kind of you to say, circusmonkey, and kinder still to drop by in first place. much appreciated

A  chara....

Indeed--a sincerely , straightforward piece...penned with the honest expressions of such an intense, personal struggle! i cannot imagine, when faced with such a relentless, indomitable "enemy", the amount of inner-strength required, to emerge victorious!  Your courage, and fortitude.....bring both inspiration, and hope to all those faced with any type of destructive addictions!

While i am sad that you have been experiencing such extreme difficulty, I am ever sooo glad, and most grateful, that you continue to fight this fight! more often than not,  life has a way of presenting unexpected, seemingly insurmountable challenges our way! Those are the types that leave us with no alternative solutions....because...sometimes....the only way thru ....is way thru! And You are so surely a remarkable example of THIS!

May each day become easier!!! My veRRy best to You--ALWAYS!

hard to respond to such lovely comment.  firstly, welcome back, a chàra

thanks heaps n bunches for dropping by and leaving your thoughts

I won't go too hard into grammar and all that as I'm sure you'll clean that up if and when you feel like it. The poem works as a sincere statement of rising from the bottom and realising how painful that can be. I'd like to see it re-worked as a short story, honestly, as I think in prose narrative form it would hit even harder.

Jack, hullo

thought about the short story, might still try knock one out. thanks for the other stuff, I'd completely overlooked it.  god bless copy paste:)-

"but I honestly don't remember"

That's okay. I usually end up making my way back to these poems one way or another. I just figured I'd comment again to let you know I'm back for another read, you know?

And sometimes we must hit that rock bottom pretty in order to finally come to our senses. Respect, Robert.
