I love this! It's written very beautifully, and your words carry so much depth. It portrays addiction from a very powerful lens that is raw and human. You are a great writer. 🤍
I spent 14 yrs of being immersed not just in alcohol but other substances just to numb my mind and feelings. Making a concerted effort to unleash the grips that all that pummeled my life all because I didn’t want to fix myself or listen to the thoughts in my head. Just one more or I’ll quit tomorrow. I’ve done enough of all that to kill a heard of baby elephants.
Not going to deny it one bit. It was all worth to endure the suffering to let go of habitual abuse I was doing to myself.
Good on you for knowing what steps you needed to take in order to become sober. And doing it for your family and friends is good, but doing it for you is even better!
Thank you Josh. Life is about being transparent and not hiding who we once were or past. The important thing is we over came it and moved on. Fixed, healed and bringing our best forward for others who are on the same path.

Just one more…. I know those words so well…. I am glad I read this. It is good to be reminded. I don’t drink… my just one more is emotional eating. ❤️
Thank you for reading. 🙏 You're right, addiction comes in all forms. ♥️
This poem conveys such a deep emotion and I like how it’s written like a whisper from someone’s own mind
You are very kind, thank you! 🙏 ♥️
Man I can relate to this mindset on a huge level.

The whisper always sounds harmless until it’s the only voice left
Absolutely. Thank you for reading 🙏
Just one more is never just one more, and tomorrow goes on forever
So true. No matter how much we may think otherwise. Thank you for reading, Elijah 💙
Really good. That one really resonated with me (especially the version of me pre-2019, but I found it very relatable).
Thanks so much, Gary. Happy to hear you’ve overcome. 💙
