The Junkie Mother

"The Junkie Mother"

Now through you....
My dreams can come true....
Remember my years heavy with sorrow....
Make of these years ....
A torch for tomorrow...
Make my past.....
A road to light....
Believe in yourself....
Let none push you down....
Look upward to the stars...
For I will be with you....
Till no one dares keep you down....
The children of a junkie mother............

When you hear the word 'Junkie' you think of a heroin addict or something really bad, and yet addiction comes in many forms. It can just as easily apply to "Junk Food" and it is that substance we reach out to to make ourselves feel better, instead of going within to connect with our Higher Power and ask for help with our own life, instead of looking outside of ourselves at the addict and all those others who fall short of my own Higher Being or should I say Lower Power.

As they say, "Let it begin with me."

As my son said the other day, "I have yet to see anyone drink like you did mom." I don't think he ever considered the pills in my system. At times I was using both, other times I tried to use one to quit the other, it was an ever ending circle.

Just for today, I am happy that I don't have to go there in today. If a medication doesb;t agree with me, I go to my doctor and refuse to take it. Why should I feel stoned when I have been clean and sober for 25 years. Even my heart medication, I had to question. It ended up I was right and the medication was replaced, now we have to see if this works. I don't have clogged arteries, I have a weak heart. I think it is because I was given the other medication.
