11 years prior
seems such a span
to be remembered naught
cept
that once the sequence began
it could not be willfully ended!

11 years hence
so much has transpired
in all this time
and we ourselves have
come full circle!

11 years past to present
changed and still changing
more fulfilled than ever thought possible
we have lost nearly everything
save one another
to addiction and desire
but we have survived
and we are the stronger for it all!

Poet deVine,
It is partly about our relationship....which we have been blessed with for nearly 30 years.  We certainly couldn't have overcome all this without a strong and special one, but the 11 years refers to our struggle together against drugs....If we hadn't have quit together we wouldn't still be together!  April 2000 we are 11 years drug free!

 Words are my medicine.
Read and live and love and heal!

Congratulations, you two!  11 years drug-free together - and I can sense so much love there!  I'm proud of you, and happy for you!  Thanks for sharing!
A thirty year love is a rare and marvelous thing.  My husband and I have one that spans thirty-seven.  Life has had many bumps, but he's worth doing anything for!  I'd fight like a tiger for him, and I've heard that drugs can be a lot like a tiger.  You guys are great, to have conquered that beast together!  Wonderful!

Rosemary,
Thank you so much!  Yes, there is a lot of love here and a lot of strength!  I can't tell you how many times we've been asked how we did it!?! That's not easily answered!

Read and live and love and heal!
