I found this poem today. This is a poem about a man that is fighting his addiction to drugs. I am not posting the name of the author, but I am asking that if you are reading this that you pray for him. He lost his fight and now is into more dangerous drugs. I think often we forget how hard the fight is and we judge way to much. I have a degree in Chemical Dependency. I lost two very important people one to drugs and one to alcohol. Friday on the 4th of July as I seen all kinds of people that I went to school with, my heart broke to see what their life has become all because of drugs. It breaks my heart even more to know that these people may never feel the love of Jesus. They may never know how great our GOD is.
My Fight with Drugs
As I lay awake at night
it seems all I do is fight
to get my sanity back in my mind
I've go to stay calm and kind
My fight with drugs is going to be long
It seems my life at birth started wrong
only I can change my way of thought
All it took is for me to get caught
I know now life can be good
All I had to do is get help with my hood
The hood of drugs and insanity I need to remove
to myself and to my friends I need to prove
I can stay sober and clean
To my daughter I can say this and mean
To stay sober is a real bad fight
with this and all the help, I hope I sleep tonight

This man amazed me with this poem.
This poem here let me know that he though and tried to quit.
I dont think that I was there for him enough.
I know what I have to do to help him and I think that I have to be the one because if I cant get through to him I think no one but jesus can.
I think the first thing he needs to do on his path to quiting is not promising his friends and I but promising himself.
Its sad that God has given me 3 bad examples in my life to ensure I dont follow the same path.
Im sure that those three people would be proud to know that they are gonna keep me and a few other people off drugs becuase of their example.
I will be praying everynight for him and the many others with this fight.
I dont know what it is but going to those AA meetings made me happy seeing those people atleast trying become sober.
My princiapl Mr.chapamn told me that with my knowledge in math I should go into that field in college, but I think that I would have way more fun helping people change their lives around.
If I do go into the chemical dependancy field I think us three sisters could all team up and change the world!
Praying for him and for all who know him...
