New Friends,Full Circle

The friends im with now soften the craving to drink Had enough of the alcohol the smell and the stink As i write down these words my friends kick in The craving for a drink is strong but i wont let it win 6 weeks cold turkey now its getting slightly easier The drinking days now getting slighter hazier Me thinking in drink everything was so pleasent The realisation now it was just a depressant Hopefully now drinks behind me and im working to a plan Ive got new friends now there called diazapam Taken twice daily there helping the fight By taking the edge off they give me respite Along with the diaz's theres other friends too Theres a friend called zoplicone he helps me sleep through And along with the metazapine who gets me through the day The dark thoughts i harbour he helps keep at bay But.....are these friends, the meds that i mention Or do they just mask the anxiety and tension ? Am i just thinking these friends are on my side Or are they just suppresing the inevitable a downward slide (6 months on) The drinking the drugs both negative fads The tablets arnt real friends there born in the labs 8 months dry now but my life is just fiction My friends are my life now my new addiction Confused and muddled pilled up and sedated Ive swopped demon for demon my thirst isnt sated Im in the grip of my friends now my problems seem wider Ive had enough of this zombie state i reach for the cider
