    Note sure I have anything that suits this though.
    That means my muse would have to come up with something new.

    Re: This contest.

    I need to ask. Are you only interested in pieces about recovery, about hope and God-found "rehabilitation"?
    There is the much darker side; the horror of depressive desperation; the humiliation; the circular nature of so many efforts to stop. All of these just cannot be swept under the carpet - they reflect the torture of real lives.
    Are poems of this ilk permitted, Miss VR? Thank you. Peter...
