Freedoms fight

The disease of alcoholism and the fight to be released from its hold is a mighty battle. God's help to all who try!!


Poem Artwork

I see the struggle to find a way
To live without that special help
When urges strong are calling loud
And is a habit tough as iron

I can’t help you through this fight
Even when I wish I could
A second chance is what I give
Given in love, my special gift

I watch the demon make you sweat
I see the restlessness you fight
I watch as you find sober days
That must seem endless hour to hour

I wait, that’s all that I can do
Because you must do it for you
For me the gift that you can give
Is healthy days, free from booze

Sandi,

Hugs and prayers my friend. Getting sober was the best gift that I gave first to myself and then my family and friends. Alan has been sober for the same amount of time. I have lost your phone # again. e-me the # please. You've written a quality poem on a dreaded disease.

Love, Janny xoxoxo

Maybe we should call drink sellers. Legal drug sellers.
The sadness in the battle of the bottle.
Havoc in so many lives. Does it reap.
Fine offer of a gift.
