Addict close to a breakthrough

It’s a shame, really
This feeling
It burns
The only way
That I can explain it
To the Non-Addict is
You want something
A specific something
To change your mood
But at the same time
You don’t
Yet you act on it anyway
Rehab
That 
You didn’t teach me that this would be a lifelong sentence of surveillance
You just gave me a certificate
Slapped me on the back
And said
“30 days was enough”

         Why is it so hard to climb just 12 steps?

I know a few who joined AA or went to rehab centres. We need to supplement effort with prayer to God in surrender. It works.
