Hi my name is Elka and I am recovering addict. My husband was also an
addict who died from this disease on Oct. 9, 2004. I have been clean for
2 /12 years. My husband tried many times to get this program but continued
to fail until it took his life. He left behind two young children as well
as me. My husband was living in a halfway house at the time of his
death.
While picking up his belongings I came a cross a notebook filled with
poems he wrote while he was trying to get himself clean. I see by his
writing that he had the DESIRE to get clean,... but as we know sometimes
people just don't get it. I am sending two of my favorite writings that
he wrote before his death. Thank you very much for this wonderful website.
GOD'S
Children
Talk to your daughters,
Talk to your sons.
This disease goes after
everyone.
Take them to church,
Teach them to pray.
When they
are asked to do drugs, tell them to walk away.
Tell them you love them.
Take their hand.
Teach them to be strong and
take a stand.
You know its too late, if
they try just one.
So keep your eyes on your
daughters and sons.

CHOICES
You say you are through.
You say you will stop, and
then hit the streets ready to cop.
What did I you do?
What did you say?
You'll do just one and it all
will be okay.
You do have friends, friends
that care
So when you think about using
"Don't you dare"
Life is about choices, the
choice you make.
You better think twice before
it is too late.

Ken's life on Oct. 9, 2004
We all have
another relapse in us, but do we have a recovery?
Please think twice before using drugs and alcohol. |
