 A Demon In My House

 


There is a demon living in my home


One that is vicious and able to kill

That thinks he is better than any other

A little god to the self

And stronger than the devil…drunk

Breaking furniture, morals, pride & hearts

Till nothing left to hide the shame

Manipulating every living soul around

Forcing them to crack…puke

To kill the self seems like great fun

Has no respect for another’ pain

There is a demon in my life

Eliminating all

Good intention left long ago

Through the back door of reality

A demon called alcohol

Crushed my trust

Tested my sanity

And stole my smile

AGAIN

This kind of demons is a decease, and it very hard to cure. It takes a lot of will powers and determination to have it cure.

Hope the demon in your house has enough will powers and determination.

A very heartfelt write!

Alcohol addition is a demon call addition spirit, it's touch but you keep on being strong because there is one that will make you stronger his name is Jesus and if you put on that armor; the helmet of salvation, the buckle of truth, feet of peace, breastplate of righteousness, shield of faith and sword of the spirit, you can defeat him my dear.

It's not the beer, but the out of control drunk who needs his daily dose of beer to feel strong because he knows he is weak. A real man would problem kick the crap out of a drunk any day, and that just makes the drunk want to get even more drunk. Ughhhhh....it is a no win situation. Unless of course you can escape. Then you my dear, will be the winner!

Tinka, Girlfren', you know that demons want us to think they are stronger than the God who made us. If this is about you, or about someone you love. . . NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING will keep you down. . .so write it out, scream it out.. . and don't even try to beat this by yourself. It's a lifetime change requiring daily baby steps. . .12 steps to be exact if I recall. . . and you gotta believe! blessin's to you my dear, I have many friends who are recovering, and I cheer your victories every single day, and pray for you constantly. . .I mean that.
love will win because too many people in this den love you very much,
blessin's

Like any adiction, you just gotta stay off the stuff, tought it out till it's out your system. There's no other way. Easy no, but if you want to get well,that's what it takes, courage and stickability. Good Luck little one , you too good a one to lose. Do it before it gets the better of you. Marguerite

A great and tense write...alcohol does lead to destruction, I have encountered my fair share of this demon or monster among family members. It drowns those that consume it as well as those who reap the results...I agree with CJ lean on friends, trust them, and lean on God...keep an open communication with him...there is power in prayer and the love of friends. Stay strong...

Tinks ...

Alcoholism is a scourge, and will invariably lead to violence and self-abuse. Sadly, everyone around alcoholics suffer emotionally. It is a terrible beast that extracts a terrible price.

Sissy, you stand strong. Often words seem somewhat cliche' when you're dealing with evil spirits. I have seen this spirit destroy many good people in my life.

Good vibes here coming from your big brother ...

Oh yes, excessive alcohol is terrible. I'm ashamed to say I got drunk about four times in my life, mostly through no fault of my own, but the day after was terrible. Now I drink only some wine during lunch and a tot of whiskey on very cold nights, no habits though. Great poem but Tinka keep your spirits up and remember there is always a silver lining. You just have to be patient. Victor
