PILLS......

I'll destroy homes, tear families apart, take your children, and that's just the start. I'm more costly than diamonds, more costly than gold, the sorrow I bring is a sight to behold, and if u need me, remember I'm easily found. I live all around you, in schools and in town. I live with the rich, I live with the poor, I live down the street, and maybe next door. My power is awesome; try me you'll see, but if you do, you may never break free. Just try me once and I might let you go, but try me twice, and I'll own your soul. When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie. You do what you have to just to get high. The crimes you'll commit, for my narcotic charms will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms. You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad When you see their tears, you should feel sad. But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised, I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways. I take kids from parents, and parents from kids, I turn people from god, and separate from friends. I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride, I'll be with you always, right by your side. You'll give up everything your family, your home, your friends, your money, then you'll be alone. I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give. When I'm finished with you you'll be lucky to live. If you try me be warned this is no game. If given the chance, I'll drive you insane. I'll ravish your body; I'll control your mind. I'll own you completely; your soul will be mine. The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed, the voices you'll hear from inside your head, the sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see; I want you to know, these are all gifts from me, But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart, that you are mine, and we shall not part. You'll regret that you tried me, they always do, but you came to me, not I to you. You knew this would happen. Many times you were told, but you challenged my power, and chose to be bold. You could have said no, and just walked away, If you could live that day over, now what would you say? I'll be your master; you will be my slave, I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave. Now that you have met me , what will you do? Will you try me or not? Its all up to you. I can bring you more misery than words can tell. Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell........ Oh how I pray some may read this and have it keep them from making horrible choices!! May God's Will be done in all things!!! ( copied )

This is so true!! I read this when I got home from church today...had we all had this to give to our kids before their addiction would it have helped? Hope it helps us to understand the addicts thoughts.

Sad post, but oh so true.

WOW! Powerful, I had to print it! maybe my husband will understand and support me or better yet support my son.

I hope so...must people just don't understand addiction and how hard it is to just stop.

oh he understands addiction, he was an addict when he was 18 and was sentenced to 2 years in jail and rehab and never looked back what he can't get passed is the stealing from our family, why didnt he steal from people he knows instead, duh! its more convenient to take things from home and less chance of being arrested or so they think!

Great Post!

This is so true!! Very good insight. And yes I agree they will steal off family quicker cause they figure we won't call the cops as easily. Which is usually true but after so many times. I started calling and so did my parents. Ladies we have to protect our selves. Cause eventually enough is enough. Love Tee.

Enough is enough. It has to stop and the patterns need to shift. If we allow our kids to call us a f'n bitch it does not feel good to us nor to them because when they are in a better place they will feel guilt and so then starts their cycle of " I am a piece of shi- I may as well use. If boundaries are to be set it needs to start with the way they treat us, a simple, "That is unacceptable to talk to me that way"

And I don't feel like supporting,giving rides, food, buying cigs, for someone who treats me that way. Then walk away every-time and then the next time they ask for a simple something say, "It does not feel good to break down and help someone who treats me bad" Keep[ doing it the little things that they change starts to make them feel better. Keep boundaries VERY strong.

Rewards and consequences, Also we feel better when we don't take the cra=.

Yes boundries are very important. And you must stick to them. Its your only grasp at sanity when they are in full addiction. Love Tee
