Addiction

I did it for the thrill until it became a need No longer tried to fight it it was an urge i had to feed. First just for fun till it became my life the desire to want to use to hide my pain, my strife. I could handle it at first then it became out of control I went from doing half to jumping to a whole. I knew i had to stop but at the time i didn't care I went from knowing what i was taking to becoming unaware. I decided after awhile to get help i knew i needed I tried to fight it but knew i was defeated. I want my life to change starting today want to succeed, just let the pain fade away....

"I could handle it at first then it became out of control". If only I can do away with my addictions. BUT "starting today I want to succeed"
