Warrior

I've stared addiction in the eye I've fought the fight to live or die. I slew the demon, now I'm free Addiction has no hold on me. I grabbed my devil by his horns I clawed and scratched, bloody and torn. I grew weaker, day by day Addiction wants the final say. I gave up time and time again Addiction's beaten stronger men. I decdided to give it one more try This time I knew it was do or die. I stared my demon in the eyes I called him on his half-baked lies. It wasn't easy, but I prevailed Where tougher men than I have failed. I'm telllin you that now I'm free The demons lost their hold on me If I can do this, anyone can. As I said I'm not the strongest man. D H Loewen

A lot of people say if I could then you should...You don't walk away and it doesn't leave...once you have the will to live, higher powers intervene... A poem of courage indeed...Keep it up...All the best David
