    Thank you so very much for this lovely review. No, I'm really not a born again... I, myself, have been very fortunate, but have known others who have had struggles in their life. Again, thank you so much for the beautiful review... I'm so happy that you enjoyed!

The journey of the bottle /addiction and redemption.
Age old story but not without pain and re-discovery.
Your writing style is easy on the eyes and definitely elicits a heartfelt reaction.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts of hope through your writing.

This is for sure a poem of hope. I enjoyed the read and the courage to write your words. There are many 'ports in the storm' of addiction out there and I say that once a person finds their port, go there, do that, be well and create a fantastic life. :)

    Thank you so very much for the lovely words. I'm very thankful that I have not gone through such despair myself; however, have known of others who did. I am so happy that you enjoyed this piece... Thank you again!

This poem, Forsaken, is for me. I was on my way down the tubes when I was brought back and now know why life is so good.

I enjoyed the way you brought the reader down with you to the brink of despair, only to accompany you on your journey of hope! The way you ended it is great, and I really liked this phrase - "And realize that life is yet
God's greatest gift of all" - it's very positive and does create the hope required by the contest rules.
Well done!

I'm glad your hero did not give up. Things have been tough lately, and I hear sales of booze have gone through the roof. Life at the bottom of a bottle is no life at all, and it breaks my heart to see it happening so much. Good luck in the contest.
