you see the bottle,
and don't no what to do
you want some,
but you don't know what will happen to you
your mind says go ahead,
one will be fine
but you know what happens when you cross that line
you keep trying to convince yourself that it will be alright
but you know it will take control,
no matter how hard you fight
your will becomes weaker,
and the temptations start to grow
your resentments are winning,
and your victories are low
you convince yourself its ok,
and finally give in
another loss for you, and for the bottle
another win

I like this poem. Its so true for alcoholics also!

I agree, I like this poem too. I know when I'm having a hard time no matter what the situation may be I try to journal my thoughts and even sometimes write poetry. I really helps when I don't want to talk to others about it, but instead of bottling it up I can at least get it down on paper.

I think its important to have friends supporting you throughout your recovery and after. If the author of this poem had someone there to snatch that bottle away he would've been fine and not relapsed. But it is a very good poem and it makes you feel how the person is feeling and whats crossing his mind. Its very well written.
