This is a poem I recently wrote about beating my addiction to self injury. That was a while ago, but it felt time to share some thoughts about it.

You were like a sugar rush,
I always got a high
Let me fly for a little while,
Then I would always crash

My heart would race,
In my head I could hear it beat
I swore it was something I needed
It would take me right off my feet

I never realized it was an addiction
It was my nicotine
Daily I would get the craving
and feed the monster so dark and mean

One day I finally saw the beast
and felt ready to defeat
It took a long time to conquer the battle
but the addiction I finally beat

Yeah, I went the same thing. I have smoked for years, since… Uhhh. wow it has been ten years.

I havent smoked in… a week. Really crazy. I have those cravings! I always have worst nightmares every time I had a withdrawal.

Then again, recalling back my experiences… I won\’t be surprised if you fall under the unleash of demonic agent from hell.

We all have our addictions though that sounds like a particularly unpleasant one and one which I am glad you have beaten. A very good poem.

Hooray!! I sensed a smile and I am quite sure it felt far more pleasureable than pain! Prayer soothes! Try it next time instead of panic–if you know what i mean! Cool!
