Losing Control

You may have problems if resolutions fail As you start old habits, going off the rails You lost your will power, lost your control You end up in rehab, regrets that time stole It's a déjàvu feeling Still there's no healing It's like a bad dream With no answers that gleam The sun is now setting On all your regretting You just try to cope But don't give up hope

You're right Joseph, it's difficult letting go of old habits. Making a change. Your last thought holds so much truth, ' don't give up. ' We all need encouragement, especially this time of year. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

I hear your message, Joseph. Some make it--but most fail, hope is still there as you well say!
