To the still suffering addict.

My compulsive behavior have taken away all self-worth. Yet I wonder was this inherited from birth. Mother was a recovering alcoholic, my father I never knew. Found father figures as I grew. Learned the hard-way how to be strong. During those days it didn't matter, right or wrong. From my teen years until I was twenty one. Did drugs and alcohol in the army until my tour of duty was done. Was a fireman in the big city, lost my job after a few years. Realizing what I had done, brought on tears. Picked myself up got a job with the Veterans Affairs. My addiction,cunning and baffling did not care. Seven years clean and sober. Addiction standing waiting over my shoulder. Obsession is like a revolver, Jesus Christ knows how to solve her. He removed my addictive behavior. Left me The Holy Spirit, for my savior. When it's raining on the outside. I have sunshine on the inside. Have peace, love, and joy in the rain. Sunshine always follow the rain.
