Drugs

[anonymous9264]

I've tried everything available to help me feel alright.
But all drugs ever do is fill my life with pain and fright
Opiates and Alcohol leave me puking on the floor
They numb my pain as well as numbing everything I love
Cocaine doesn't do **** for me
but make me want some more (and more and more and more)
LSD and Mushrooms simply made me feel schizoid
Smoking weed only ever made me paranoid
Ecstasy left me depressed and made my jaws cramp up
amphetamines just made me angry and feel really amped up
None of these helped fill that hole only serving to distract
Even my dear cigarettes are just to self destruct
Nothing felt ever felt as good as being with you that night
Clear headed, sober and content cause love made me feel alright.
Thank you med help forum for helping out now I really see the light
It's not about what you're giving up it's not about the fight
It's all about you and me and everyone helping each other get through life

thanks all. @ Lindsay T: I have had some problems finding faith in my life, though I really respect those who have. I commend you for finding Jesus.
Too true about the "why have I done this" Mangee.

[Mangee]

We all have a sense of wonder at or own feelings. We are in awe of what we have done to ourselves whether deliberate or through the auspicies of a physician. When we find ourselves in that valley of darkness, tears and agony we ask," Why have I done this to myself or why wasn't I told that this could happen."  We have to feel a true love of being and a strength of will to say,"ENOUGH." It doesn't matter how long or how short the drug took command of you, it is what you want to do about it an how you go about it.
Some take a short time and others take a long time to solve the puzzle but everyone, if they want to can find the solution. You cannot fault yourself for having some failures as long as you continue to try.  Sometimes it's two steps forward and one step back or it could be two step forward and two steps back. The point is to keep moving until it is two steps forward and no steps back. No one can say it will be easy because it isn't but if you persist it will gradually get easier as the days pass.

My faith has filled the hole in my life. This forum has given me the training to do combat with my addiction. If you want to talk abput filling your emptiness I'd love to share how I have come to know and love Jesus! Thanks again for the post.  - Lindsay
