I’m Not Tired

I no longer feel exhausted, not mentally and not physically. (more…)

My Experience With Addiction (TRIGGER WARNING)

  TRIGGER WARNING ON THIS POST. READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL READERS. 

  “I’m not an addict like you, I know what I’m doing. I’ve got this!”

I remember it like it was yesterday, my first drink, my second drink, my third drink. Then it starts getting fuzzy. I told everyone that I knew what I was doing because I truly thought I did. Boy, was I wrong.  (more…)

I struggled. Struggled to fight, to breathe,to live. Breathless, I beg; beg to be myself again. On my knees, crying, asking for a miracle. “Just take the disease away!” I scream, silent screams. Nothing avails. So I pray. My last hope, when it should have been my first.

I call. He answers. I begin to crawl, slowly. He sees me, and stands me to my feet. I can breathe once more. Fresh air in, fresh…

I remember. I remember stumbling, falling, losing track of who I was. What I wanted, my goals, no longer did they matter. Selfish, conceited, sick; it consumed me. My every thought, every move, every breath was no longer filled with life. I became a lifeless mess, living for the sole purpose of feeding my addiction. The memories, they haunt me. Time; I’ll never get it back. Wasted.
