Promise

 I have addictions, but they can be overcome.

I have problems, but they can be solved.

I am lonely, but I can find company.

I am weak, but I can find strength.

I am out of shape, but I can train.

I am broken, but I can be fixed.

I am lost, but I can be found.

I do not need cigarettes, they only sedate me.

I do not need drugs, they only subdue me.

I do not need alcohol, it only harms me.

I owe this to my friends.

I owe this to my family.

I owe this to my child.

Most of all though?

I owe this to myself.

I will be better.
