Writing down and processing your thoughts in a creative way can be a great distrsction from your addiction and a way to deal with the mental health issues that come with it
I used to always write, haven’t done in many years.
This is one I wrote a long time ago
Silence, silence, come to me,
Silence come so peacefully,
Let me hear the softest sound,
Of silence wishing to be found
Free from thought and free from fear,
Free my mind and make things clear
Silence bring yourself to me
Only you can set me free
I really love it. Very nice!
I love writing. I also used to do it on a regular basis, but then stoped as if I was scared of being with myself.
Here’s a poem
It hurts
Give it to me
Hand me the bottle
So I can drown my sorrows
Emotions take over me
I can’t stand the tears burning my eyes
Angry or sad
I don’t even know
Ashamed and guilty
For being the way I am
I am not an alcoholic
I can live without alcohol
Who am I fooling
It’s my first love
Always has been
Always will be
Stuck in denial
Letting go is cruel
Please don’t make me do it
I need it
