This delivers the message very clearly, openly and honestly, that the battle with addiction is a long harsh, painful and sometimes brutal one, counting the losses as they build up on that difficult journey. Long may you be winning this battle

I was just reading a passage in a book (then your poem appears) where the writer was saying that the deeper the desire and grasping, the deeper the (possibility of) experiencing of the absolutely unconditional. Isn`t that a paradox?! It gives me a lot of inspiration.
Great write, Thomas

The likelihood of your survival and be left with the ability to document this terrible journey is, I feel mathematically somewhere between nought and zero. Yet you managed it. A vivid account of an existence, Thomas.

Brought me back to the crazy things I did to stay drunk and fucked up on morphine that I stole from a friend of mine who was dying of pancreatic cancer.

Well Done Brother. I\'ll be six years sober on the 28th of this month. Six years ago on the 28th I was in River Oaks treatment center with suboxone under my tongue trying to stop shaking from 2/5 of vodka a day and liquid morphine it\'s been a long hard journey but it\'s been worth it

A ferocious battle is portrayed here and it is still ongoing. Here there seems to be no truce and the enemy is relentless. Well written Thomas

Hope is a Junkyard Sparrow
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this carries grime and grace in the same breath. The alley neon, the cheap vodka, the empty coffee filters…all of it builds a world where hope isn’t noble…it’s feral. And when we land on “it keeps you waking up,” it feels earned. Strong, unflinching work, Thomas. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

When you are at the bottom, hope is hard to find. As each day starts the very little you still have you hope is still there. Gritty, raw and very real write, pleasure to read

One day at a time with hope slid just under the skin to shield from complete annihilation...
Got it (I think) Thomas.

If hope goes, you go too.
I always say. If you wake up in the morning, it\'s a great day. If you don\'t, it\'s somebody\'s elses problem.

It\'s the location. I could well be your Dad, except my sometimes invisible dialogues are conducted from an old but forgiving armchair and directed at the Seven O\'clock News.
I think we can all be grateful that you survived

Thomas, this is vivid and deeply human. It moves from fear to humor to understanding without losing its center. “Two sons scared shitless / at what that meant” lands hard. The tension feels real and lived. Well done, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I must say, brilliantly written. You captured the words that every father says with every child in the car. The child thinks to himself, \'Who is he talking to?\' Brilliant, great job.

Oh hell Thomas I am a miser when it comes to faves but what the hell this one deserves one. Am I just falling in love with your style or what. This one is so nostalgic my dad king of the road pretended the law abiding citizen but was a rebel behind the wheel would race anyone along side then acted as if it were their fault wanting to cut him off. A good read my friend and a fave
