I Am Alcoholic

I Am Alcoholic Unable to regulate my soul my thoughts are doomed IT Defeated my entity dictated my pleasure's I am Alcoholic I sense it's tantrum everywhere I am helpless Constantly yesterday today NOW Tomorrow Anyone help me? Alcohol My unique enemy haunted since years Deserted by my Mother IT Dominated my shadow conditioned my brain Provoked my tears drowned my vitality allowing it torment my darkness dictated my pain Captivated ME Consciously. I was born Unwanted with a heart I cannot find it how weak have I gone down The ladder How desperate have I allowed IT Be taken for granted by a bottle NO Bottles I became so wounded Giving up my strength My life To a glass. Why? Mother. Therese Bacha 29 June 2013

The effects of any addiction is horrible for the person who is addicted and those that touch on that person..I have seen that first hand..There are people who are born everyday with the genetic dispositon to become an addict because it is in their genes..The way to avoid the addiction is know oneself and seek out professionals to help with the problem..Enjoyed reading this one and your point of view about your family member who has a problem or was it had..Sara

I know this pain! You must be strong and you can be strong. This may sound silly but I gave up drinking and later cigarettes Because It dawned on me one day I was making People rich while they were killing me and helping me destroy everything I loved . It's never easy but the thought that people were getting rich on my misery really made me angry. Fight on again and again never surrender!

You are so right, I never saw it that way, as I smoke, I will try and imitate you by making them become poor, and for me I will become healthier. Excellent advice Michael. thank you so much. Have a great happy evening. Love Terry

Hi Terry; This touches close to home. There was about three people in my family that were Alcoholics. One died and two got cured. Thank God for A.A. Lucilla

So sorry Russell to read that, I did not want to make that poem very strong. But unfortunately it does hurt those who are on the outside. Take care, hope she does.
