Addiction
I think of it first each morning,
It comforts before bed each night,
This addiction has total control,
I relinquish without a fight.
At first, like all additions,
I could take it or leave it alone,
Than it became a god in my life,
I wouldn't have started, if I'd known.
Within; my body acted like,
A spoiled child not getting her way,
Often I'd spend my last dollar,
To satisfy its demanding crave.
Today I took my life back,
I quit, once and for all,
I'm depending on my Lord,
Keeping me from stumbles or falls.
Recovered alcoholic, 22 years.
