Alcoholic

The demons tried to pull me by their chains
But my strength is stronger and remains
The silent screams
The weighted down dreams
There will be no more defeat
These demons are going to be beat
The bottle will not remain in control 
This is the reachable goal

G'day Erica … addictions in any form require a lot of will power and help, but as your verse states, determination is the start of redemption - thank you Erica - Lindsay

Yes addictions in any form are so strong. Some people don't even realize that things such as working out and exercise can become an addiction
