My son’s homework is to write an acrostic poem… after consulting Google to find out exactly what the hell that was, I thought I would give it a go and wondered if others wanted to try too? I found it quite therapeutic and you can use any word relating to your own addiction journey.
So long have I tried to give up this poison
One day at a time is all I have
Being kind to myself is the answer
Even on days I don’t like me atall
Regain control and live my best life is my goal
Love cats, this is lovely thank you.
Fabulous thank you.
Carnality sought
Rapture caught
Anxiety knocks
Void mocks
Escape thwarted
Just thought it’d be easy
Understand that it won’t be,
Not that it should stop you
Know that doing nothing promotes mediocrity.
I know you’re more than this affliction,
Everyone needs to learn about addiction.
Anyone
Doing
Diddly squat
Instead of
Controlling
Their self
Cheese and cake?
How nice!
Except
Erupting is a war of words
Semantics… Cake or Pie?
Each vehement in defence
Convinced equally of rightness
A debate still rages, variants outlined, a
Kaleidoscope of colour, taste, technique
Examples used to defend or attack…
Still no agreed answer.
These are all fantastic. I enjoy reading them thank you all.
Whahahaha your killing it Aybee 
We are all the same,
Every addict shares that shame.
Equal debts we all overcome,
Do love yourself through this thunderstorm.
Half my life I knew it really
Addicted mind being the boss of me
Dear, dear son let me work my recovery.
Maybe I can make you proud one day we shall see.
Eventually I’ll get there, right time and place, I’ll look at you and see that unconditional love on your face.
