Sometimes you just don’t know what to say when a drug addiction has taken over your life. Whether it is you or a loved one who has fallen victim to the enemy, there is no deluding yourselves about how serious it is. Maybe you need to express yourself. Maybe you need to see something that has been expressed by someone who has gone through what you are going through.

Creatively, there is a place to do that. By going to http://www.familyfriendpoems.com/family/addiction-poems.asp, you can see poems that have been written by other people who have experienced what you are experiencing. Some of the poems are written by children who grew up with drug addicted or alcoholic parents. Some are written by addicts themselves. Some are written by both, as many times a person who grows up in an environment of addiction can fall into the same pattern. 

Some of the poems are written by siblings. Some are written by spouses and significant others. There is one common denominator in all of them. Drug addiction affects everyone in an addict’s life as well as the addict himself

As you read the poems, you are given the opportunity to comment and share your own story. You will find that you identify with several of these poems. There is a kinship among people who have lived the hell of an addiction, either as the addict or a loved one.

Feel free to share your feelings or your story. Perhaps even feel inspired to write a poem of your own. The creative gene shows itself in many ways and for those who can write, expressing one’s self through addiction poems such as these can be a positive form of healing.

If you are still in the throes of addiction, now is the time to get yourself clean. Take the time to contact the number on the sidebar and begin your journey to freedom today. Indulge in the creativity of writing as you go along. Keep a journal, write a poem. Who knows, perhaps some day you can write a book that will even help others, sort of a pay it forward situation.

Haven’t written a poem before? Give it a try. Simply put your feelings into words. Want to know a secret? Poems do not always have to rhyme. If yours does, great, If it doesn’t, great. Either way, expressing yourself, being creative and seeking help are going to start a new beginning for you in so many ways, your only regret will be in not doing so sooner.
