No Promises No Lies
NO PROMISES NO LIES
Addicts run away from life each time they use.
They run further away from life only to wake up the next day feeling worse or the same.
You see all the addicts that I know are running away from something called pain.
Most of all themselves, they run from from something or to something.
Some place they will never find, it always seems to be one high or one day away.
Freedom is what they seek although when they use their drugs of choice, they
actually become enslaved.
Each day they become further away from reality and one step closer to going insane.
They don't miss it when they get clean.
Don't get me wrong they still have cravings but to stay clean they can not let the feelings of
loss or sickness get to far from their minds.
They have to keep one eye and ear open so that they don't relapse.
Easy no but worth every effort they put into it.
It's worth every bit of happiness they find.
