evolution of an addict
I am ready to surrender the pain
I've nurtured it like it was a babe
suckled it and kept it close
I am ready to let it go
the hurt has grown out of control
I can no longer numb it
I can no longer hide from the cold
it has coils and fangs
it dances on my self esteem
sucking the life from me envenomating me
until I spit poison
I'm ready to stand and fight
I can't erase the past
I can change how I respond to the anger
I can change how I navigate this world
with honor in my blood
I vow to grow
from a child to a woman
I'm ready to go

Roar ferociously my lovely friend..the only thing that hinders our progression is ourselves...you got this, break that bitch, show up, show the fuck out...

I am unsure if it is only ourselves sometime we have a thorn in our sides...I will progress as time goes by💗

This honestly gave me chills.
Never know how strong you are until you're tested.
And tests suck - but they show us what we can work on.
What steps of empowerment and courage to walk through.
We go when we are ready:)

thank you beautiful Adelphina sorry I'm not very focused at the moment... you're right I found out alone I'm not that strong I need help I appreciate you being here💗
Definitely a tough write but one that is also encouraging toward a positive future.

good morning dearest Wally I will start taking small steps towards altering my future I have in days past just thought oh I will quit cold and been thrown into shock a very painful experience that did little good in the end saw me eight months out rocking back and forth trying to soothe the anxiety...I will start therapy soon and see what positive changes I can make I don't want to trade this for more psych drugs or another substance...we'll see I'm taking it slow this is foreign territory for me thank you for the positive thoughts💗
