Wow, Jo, thanks for making my day. I’ve held on to this piece because of the drawings. It hit me in a flash to use 1 drawing and show the progression. I’ve been around recovery 35 years, last night I marked another 2 years clean/sober. These poems are a synthesis of me and 1000’s of addicts I’ve encountered.
