Drugs control my life
So don’t try to convince me that
I can be sober
Because at the end of the day
I can’t do this
And I’m not going to lie to myself by saying
I will prosper and succeed
So I will remind myself
That I am a selfish and terrible person
And nothing you tell me will make me believe
I deserve a good life
Because no matter what
I will always be addicted
And I wonder if
Things will get better
Because when I look in the mirror I will always think
Can I recover?

Welcome Destinee! I hope you come her often so we can get to know you.
I love your post. It’s been posted on here a couple times since I’ve been here. It never gets old though.

Me in active addiction is extreemly unmotivated to do anything
Sober me is a people person and hard worker
With the way i woke up thismorning , if i took 2 hits of weed be4 bed, id be home sleeping insted of sober me jumping in the shower getting ready to bell ring in the cold for 4 hours.
I notice a, between active addiction and sobriety a huge difference with every aspect in my life.

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE this poem written by Emilee Kerrigan! It kept me from a dark place when I found it! I have been looking for more work by her but haven’t been able to find anything…
