Dear friends. I have thought long about whether or not to share this. I have prayed about it. If it helps one person, then I walk away happy. I don& #39;t know how long this thread will be. I am simply going to write. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Slightly smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Slightly smiling face">

Most of my life
Has been full of hope
Loved every minute
Until found hard to cope

For a couple of years
I got out of control
Turned to the drink
It darkened my soul

Never thought
It could happen to me
Was always laughing
Always carefree

But things took a turn
I went astray
No longer felt
The warmth of the sun& #39;s ray

I finally reached out
To God, family, and friends
I needed their help
To begin making amends

I never forgot
Who my inner self was
Simply ignored
Due to the buzz

So almost one year ago
To rehab I went
Packed up my bags
7 weeks I spent

It was incredible
The things that I learned
Got back to myself
So long I had yearned

If you are struggling
Or perhaps know of someone
There is always help out there
It can be done

......Twitter family, we all have our cross to bear. You have made mine easier. For that I am especially thankful. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Slightly smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Slightly smiling face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏" title="Person with folded hands" aria-label="Emoji: Person with folded hands">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇺🇸" title="Flag of United States" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of United States">
