I've been clean off of cocaine and alcohol for 4 months now. I still have to occasional beer, but not to get drunk... It was a very hard battle, chains of bullshit weighing heavy on my mind. But I'm one of the strong ones that will actually do something big in his life, something I and my generations to come can be proud of... I hope someone reading any of my poems about my addiction and my mind's descent will be inspired to find true happiness. Things get better if you let them.
I must warn you, escaping the icy grip of Dark is a lot harder than you'd think, depending on how deep in the hole you've fell.

It is a very powerful pull... I appreciate the support, thank you very much!
Are you always going to make me cry!! Not sad tears but happy tears. To look someone in the eyes and no one is there. They’re not dead but barely alive...the people in your life, the people who love you...they won’t have to see that in you. Your strength, your fight...it warms me up and it is a privilege to read your poems. You share yourself in them and I do not take that for granted!!
“If pain was but a test of weakness
Then I'd realize I am strong”
My favourite lines!! Powerful statement!!

Congratulations, that's definitely something to be proud of -- not only for breaking the addiction, but for finding the strength and being able to put it where needed. We all have our own dark places that we fall into for one reason or another, and escape can seem impossible. This poem, filled with strength and hope, should be a light in the darkness for everyone.
