All entries are eligible to be printed in a fundraising book I am doing for CHANCE
and the entries must be drug and alcohol related.
THIS IS NOT A CONTEST FOR SEXUAL OR FOOD ADDICTIONS!
http://www.chance1002.qwestoffice.net
Here is a recovery group on AP you are free to join:
http://allpoetry.com/group/show/Recovery%20Rocks
I will allow one entry on addiction and one on recovery per person. If you enter one on addiction, you must enter one on recovery but not vice versa. I NEED MORE RECOVERY WRITE THAN ADDICTION WRITES!!! PLEASE!!!
The Gold winner will be the first page in the book for CHANCE. All other entries will be eligible to be chosen to be in the book. There will be no payment to you but you will be given full credit for your write.
Rules:
Can be any form. Free verse and prose are welcome.
Common sense
No flashy backgrounds
Have fun
Prewrites only if approved before hand!!!
I reserve the right to delete this contest if nothing meets the quality to be the first page in the book. I do not forsee that happening as there are so many talented writers out there.
Thank you to judmc for the points for this contest
Thank you for entering

I love this! I have poems about my past addiction, but I don't think I've actually written about getting better. I will work on something. :]
