My Cravings

Contributed by pixie on Tuesday, 2nd November 2004 @ 12:13:54 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



My cravings hit me every single day,
I have to struggle to keep them at bay,
I will not go back to drinking all the time,
In the past weakness has been my only crime.

But I have to stay strong or I will die,
To say I don’t want would be a lie,
Sometimes it’s all I can think about,
Especially when I am insecure & in doubt.

I drink to numb my mind from dark thoughts,
But in the daylight back are the scars & warts,
I let drink control me once before,
Now at least I can begin to shut the door.

But I can hear it calling me, calling my name,
Only on my addiction I can lay the blame,
I feel it now I am sat here craving drink,
But I know that too much alcohol is my missing link.

I try so hard to overcome my addiction,
In my brain is constant confliction,
One side says yes the other says no,
When I crave the days ticks by so slow.

My names Krissie Cope & I am an alcoholic,
Each craving beaten in my wall goes another brick,
I know that I will never be able to quit totally,
As me & alcohol are linked emotionally.

We all have cravings and most of the time the cravings are bad for us. Will power sometimes elapse when we need it most. I do encourage you to stay strong and always do the best you can, Ted Bare.

You can do it.One slip doesn't mean a fall.I came from a drinking family and understand some of the pain and hell.Your poem was meaningful.
