Today I had a setback I gave in to your call I couldn't take it anymore I up and took the fall As soon as my guard was down You saw the perfect chance To erase two years of freedom To persuaid me to dance Just when I thought I had beaten you You proved that I was wrong I thought this was getting easier after being strong for so long Today I had a setback Another lesson learned Freedom from addiction isn't given It simply has to be earned To be continued.... Hi again guys, This piece of the puzzle was written a couple years after I stopped drinking. As you can see this road has not been an easy one, but I am bound and determined to win this war one day at a time. Thank you again for reading. All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

Every day that you fight the good fight brings you closer to winning the worthwhile battle. Heroes take one step at a time and eventually grasp most aspects of their destiny. |
