No More

I hope I can get my mind the way your mind is set. This helped a lot. Thanks

I really liked that... I am 14 and addicted to cigs and weed but haven't smoked at all for about a month and the pheen is killing me but I know I can do it thanks this helped A LOT

My name is Shannon I am currently 33 years of age and as of August 18th I now have 3 years clean and sober. I was addicted to crack, heroin, and occasionally used meth. It took my life from me. I lost 2 children, various jobs, friends, my dignity, integrity, self respect for a long while, a 5 yr relationship, ended up homeless, got raped numerous times, and sadly was incarcerated for a total of 5 years. Finding the rooms, a sponsor, God, and actually learning to love myself once again helped me in so many ways. I am so thankful also to an inpatient/outpatient rehabilitation service in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania called The Interim House. Thanks mainly to them I now have my clean time and will only continue to gain more clean time as the days pass!! To this day each morning I say to myself the serenity prayer, and I thank God for all that I now have, and for the things that I was able to regain once again!!!

My 23 year old son is a heroin addict he is clean 1 year the poem reminded me how hard it can become the pain and fear are too much...prayers and others express their pain help us to realize we are not alone. God bless and thank you it helps.

I am a recovering heroin addict and alcoholic I've been clean and sober for six years now and it's the greatest feeling in this world. It's also a blessing to have my family back in my life.
My children are so proud of me and I was very fortunate to get this far, But I didn't do this alone I had a lot of support from my family, sponsors and God he made it possible!!
AA Works For Me One Day At A Time.....

thank you for writing your poem for us all to read. My fiance has been addicted to opiates for years and I've worked really hard to get him to where he is today. He's still not 100% clean but he's doing way better then he was. He says he has triggers. That make him want to get high. I don't know how that is because I've never had any drug addictions. But I'm going to make him read this poem.

Thank you for your poems, they make me cry and pray: I have a son that has been an addict of one kind or another since the age of 13, at this time he is in jail for heroin possession, he tells me that same story that things are going to be right this time, and never again, I heard that 4 years ago when I almost lost him to an overdose, he stayed clean after a 30 days program for about two years and I almost die when I say him starting it up again. Thank you. Your poems help me I wish there was a site that family's could share and get support.

I have been clean for 21 months but as like most addicts I sold my soul for just one more. Addicted since 13 I never thought I would get clean these poems help me remember the pain I never want to feel again.
