Struggling with alcohol addiction must be so hard
Only you and God know of the path you have trod
Although I have never been caught in this web
I can only imagine how your life must ebb
I have some words if you want to hear
Your news has touched me deep my dear
I look at the picture of you and your kids
glad the worse didn’t happen, heaven forbid
You had the strength to fight for your cause
Not wanting the children to suffer for your flaw
It takes a really strong person to utter a plea
Needing love and compassion from some body
I pray for God to always keep you strong
For with your babies you can’t go wrong
Trust in yourself; hold your head up high
God will hear even your smallest sigh
His love can lift you when your legs won’t stand
Giving you strength from his tender hands
I don’t know you but this comes from my heart
On a new adventure, you’re about to embark
I’ve lots of wishes and prayers for you if I may
Don’t let anyone ever stand in your way

    I'm not sure if this is personal... but it was extremely moving and showed a side of you I actually have never seen. I think it's very strong to write about these things. This addiction is in my family as well and I have often feared succumbing to it. However so far so good. I think it was lovely darlin. Well written and very strong. Excellent job.
