Addiction made me feel safe
Went into that peaceful place
Felt sane for moments
Kept me from losing my mind
Allowed me to be ME
Contained the RAGE
Continued breathing, living in deep distress
Eased the pain
Reduced the suffering
Laughed at the hypocrisy, horror, sadness, emptiness, and numbness
Led me to you
Helped me release you and find ME
Addiction….
