Many talents, passions, and stories have passed through our doors here at Beyond Addiction. It is an honor to witness.
One young lady in particular wrote this two part poem, a conversation between her and her addiction. She was excited to prepare it in a way that we could share it with all of you. It is pictured as part of this post.
Our uniqueness aside, this is a poetic expression of the common place our addictions can take all of us.
“We are people who normally would not mix. But there exists among us a fellowship, a friendliness, and an understanding which is indescribably wonderful. We are like the passengers of a great liner the moment after rescue from shipwreck when camaraderie, joyousness and democracy pervade…The tremendous fact for every one of us is that we have discovered a common solution.” (excerpt taken from chapter 2 of the AA Big Book)
