Alcoholism and Drug Addiction......

Addiction is a monster, it lives inside and feeds off you, takes from you, controls you, and destroys you. It's a beast that tears you apart, rips out your soul, and laughs at your weakness. It is a stone wall that stands to keep you in and the rest out. It is a shadow that always lurks behind you, waiting to strike. Addiction lives in everyone's mind, sitting, staring, waiting....a prisoner in your body!

I'm a recovering addict.....I'm 16 years sober now. But, it still haunts each and every day. I know and realize I can't just take that one drink, it's one right after the other until I can't feel anything, just numb. I'm writing this to help others who may be struggling in their lives with addiction.....you're not alone....you're never alone.

Yes, not to mention it wants to kill us.
Congratulations on 16 years of sobriety.

@calicuz Thank you dear Cali....I appreciate your words here.....addiction truly wants to kill us, but we can't allow it to happen. That's why I try to convey these types of messages in hopes it saves someone and continues to help me. 🤗

@Indy74

Yes, we help our own recovery by sharing our story. Don't think your story went unread by many more. I'm sure there are others dealing with sobriety but just aren't ready to chime in, but all our stories are encouragement to them.
