Downward Spiral of Addictions

The Downward Spiral of Addictions by Shirley Rebstock 4/17/2015 Ahh the sip of fantasy, passion, your Heaven Sweet kiss of deceiving love drawing you My warm embrace will hug you, squeeze you til death You will laugh, yes you will laugh until you cannot stop crying Friends will join you on this merry-go-round of glee If that is fun, how much more the roller coaster Calmness, slowly creeping upward then, Bam, racing downward So fast can barely see Some get off saying that is enough fun, others like you continue the ride Spinning out of control like a tornado Leaving a path of destruction of hearts and minds of those loved Who flee in despair Some go with you in your desire to destroy self and ease your pain Tomorrow you say, all will be well, you will be well For today, ahh another sip of your true love, your fantasy, your passion Your Hell Having loved and worked with people with addictions, I have seen wonderful talented people lose their life and happiness due to this enemy. God created people to worship and have fellowship with Him, so everyone worships someone or something. If we forget the God who created us, we will run after false gods or demons. Deuteronomy 32: 15-18 and Ephesians 5:18-19, “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with the Holy Spirit. “ With God all things are possible, even freedom from addictions. PS: When I first wrote this poem and read to my grown son, his response was, " All right, all right Mom, I'll stop eating so many cheeseburgers."
