ADDICTION is a horrible disease. ADDICTION is hard to deal with and treat on your own. ADDICTION can be overcome, ASK for help. 

You let go of my hand, On a cobblestone road, Into the strangest land. Curiosity, it drove me to do, All the things, That I decided to. I was left alone, but tried to refrain, To taste your poison, That fed my vein. No one could save me, The needle happily accepted my pain, It knew I was desperate to just be. Tomorrow I will try again, Walking cobblestone roads, Where my childhood began. If I should die before then, I ask God to forgive me, And all the others who have been, Walking cobblestone roads, Looking for, A long lost friend.
