Tinks65,
That was sweet.Addiction is not who they are,
anymore than they are a high speed film of an accident
at an intersection-----watching addiction is like a slow
motion replay of that film.
Watching their bodies torn and broken and ripped
to shreds before our horrified eyes.
But that IS NOT the totality of their lives.They were human
beings before they entered that intersection----and (although unrecognizeable)
they are human while undergoing that dreadful impact.
And (God willing), they will be functioning humans again someday.
Not all will survive,such is life at high kinetic energy.
But I like to think they all deserve human dignity,no matter
how far they fall.As an addict close to me once said....
"I didnt CHOOSE this.....
NO ONE CHOOSES this devil".
No one chooses to step in a bear trap .But the bait is
enticing,they draw closer,cautiously nibble,then WHAM,
the trap springs.... and they can't get out.
But on that beautiful , wonderful day.... The moon WAS
a cookie.....treasure that day!!!!
