He Walked Out the Door

He walked out the door
Active addiction weighing heavily on his young shoulders
Angry, beaten and going……….where?
A new challenge met and quickly released ~ too hot, too slippery.
A desire to get well, squashed and beaten by cravings and the need for relief.
What had life been like before active addictions gripped it?
This first attempt to break free was too painful, too frightening and too awful.
His walk was almost tall.
His head held almost high.
His face set in stony silence.
He walked out the door.

“When you can stop you don’t want to, and when you want to you can’t…..”
