Hi Jeanette :)

This piece of writing resonates on a deep level with myself. Thank you for sharing a raw poem of reality. unless one has experienced addiction, it is a very difficult subject to understand. We can feel that nothing can equal the highs and escapism, but there is but we have to dig deep and search ourselves. The truth is that it comes down to us, and it can be achieved through support and exploring.
Keep safe and well

Michael :)

That's exactly it, expressing can feel like letting go at times :)
and yes I would hope like you say poetry may help some one or at least give a feeling, that its okay to write about whatever. I hope my writing will :)

Be safe

Michael :)
