Mental Illness and Drug Addiction/Alcoholism

OK--if you were entered in the contest I had and d/q'd everyone because I thought Anonymized was one person and was stupid about it, I am sorry. It won't happen again. Please enter as a prewrite.

For this contest, I want to know what you think. Does Mental Illness create Drug Addiction/Alcoholism or vice versa? If you have a mental illness and are addicted, tell me how one fed the other.

    Maybe I'm a fool, but i don't want to do something wrong and get disqualified, so is this supposed to be a poem about what i think, or an essay of sorts??

  • I have a poem I would like ....

    to enter.
    But it is a Pre- Write!
    So maybe another time!

    Sincerely,
    ~Trill~

    hahaha you dq'd everyone? i thought anonymized was a person at first too until i looked at the ages. hahaha, that made my day though, thanks = P

  • Am withdrawing my entry, as things, judging, seems to be bogged down or the hostess has abandoned the contest, I don't know.

  • I would like to know why you commented on every entry in the contest except for mine and one other poem

    It seems unfair that we should take the time to write fresh pieces for your contest and not have the courtesy of receiving a comment.
