“Admitting I’m an addict has come with a wave of realising –
I’ve been an addict since I could form habits around my unmet needs
A wave of realising that I am one of most in this way
Realising that our markets depend on this –
Moisturisers that make our skin dry
Soaps that make us dirty
Foods to make us hungry
Drinks to make us thirsty
Medicines to make us sick
Pipelines of Sugar to alcohol to harder stuff if their life gets hard enough …
And with the harder stuff life will get harder,
Not least of all with the power of others thinking you deserve it causing you to think that too.
Every realisation followed by a gun toting spaceman saying “always was”
Wish me success in treatment- I need it.”
