Fellow Addicts, Heres the Deal

[KRC1959]

Fellow Addicts, heres the Deal
I lost a year to a Demon Pill
My brain said Son is this so wise
No sir I said, and thats a lie
So stop says he and heal your mind
But I dont think that thats too Kind
Again the brain said, Why Why Why
And I replied, I like the High
So keep on going, Now he said
Just one too many and youre Dead
Youre strong he says and full of grit
Smart, and strong and full of wit
I said, How will I ever cope
And he said son, you just have hope
I pondered what my brain told me
And told him, Ok we wil see
So one night just 9 days ago
I let my little demons go
I felt so sad, they were my friends
But life goes on, so here it ends
Day one, Night one, Chills Galore
Second day, Chills Ten times more
Day 2 and 3 and 4 my lord
King Arthur stabbed me with his sword
Day 3 and 4, they really sucked
With Getting hit by the Big Mack Truck
The Aches the Pains, the Foggy head
My poor poor legs, felt just like lead
But through the pain and watery eyes
I said its time for no more lies
He first said Taper and well see
And i said NO, CTs for me
But work you have and cannot miss
Ill persevere with an angels Kiss
Day one through 8, Now what is Sleep
I saw not one of Lil Bos Sheep
The clock just Ticked and Ticked and Ticked
And I said NO, I have this licked
Emotions running, sometimes cried
A full grown man with lots of pride
Tonight my friends , I have no clue
My eyelids may be shut with glue
But each dam hour that passes by
Is like a super Natural High
This battle has only just begun
But the War I know, it will be won
This is not Easy, by any Means
But it is better, so it seems
My brain said. Son youre doing great
Youre fighting this, you didnt wait
You jumped right in with tooth and nail
Just keep it up , You will prevail
And tell your friends who gave you hope
That you will help them pull there rope

All of you have been tremendous in helping me get through this. I cant name all the names, but you know who you are, Its 1,30 and I am going to lie down, but know that I admire and respect all of you, You have given me a wealth of Knowledge and compassion, that is unmatched, Im just on Day 9, and have a lifetime to go before the War is won.  Thank you all         JayDean

I could not of gotten where I am today without all of you, and many others who have PMd me and posted, There are about 20 of you who have really, really helped my situation, YOU ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I just dont want to type in all your names, and each one of you, is a special person and I can tell somewhat what kind of personality you have by your posts. All unique Individuals. And I do have a bond with each one of you, even though I might not have mentioned it in some of my posts, as you will agree sometimes in WDs you forget to mention someone, but no that they are in my heart, Male or Female, And you also are going through trials and tribulations, and still being able to help me. DAMN.  Didnt get to bed till 3 last night but slept until 9,, not a full sleep but nonethe less, Sleep. I just went to GNC and got some Sleep Fast, It is a new product and the owner, I swear is the most Knowledgeable person I have met about every situation a person might have and what would help them. He knows about my situation. He told me about the Melatonin and Valerian Root and suggested this new Product, He said if it didnt work, come back and he will take care of me. Thank God I dont have to work today, My legs dont Ache near as much right now, I needed this time to let my body rest after 8 days of work and WDs. I mean Im not kidding when I say last night my body was just drained. Feel much better today. Maybe I will even be able to take a nap. YES, if my body lets me. So on day  9 so far I am 90 percent better, I know I have a strong will, but Honestly was scared of doing this, everyone said it would get better, and of course all of us at the beginning think, No way. To the Thousands behind me and in front of me, Yes it can be done. I will post this afternoon and let you know how I am doing, and I need to start posting to others as well to contribute what I can, Its not fair to people to just get support and then go on there merry way. GREAT JOB EVERBODY, ME INCLUDED

Hope last night, you got some sleep
all its benifits, may you reap
todays day 10 and your doing great,
the demon fished, you didn't take the bait
with all the misery withdrawls are,
a cleaner life is best by far
all my best and hope to you,
I have no doubt, you'll make it thru
But when it's hard and you may cave,
Think of the great life that you will save.
Thats all for now, my poems do suck,
To hell with it, I just wish you luck

Now I don't have a poetic bone in my body, except for a naughty limerick or two which is definitely not suitable for this forum, but let me say you have captured withdrawals wonderfully - I'm right about at this stanza here:

Day 2 and 3 and 4 my lord
King Arthur stabbed me with his sword
Day 3 and 4, they really sucked
With Getting hit by the Big Mack Truck
The Aches the Pains, the Foggy head
My poor poor legs, felt just like lead


Hope you sleep the sleep of angels XX
