This Is How It Starts...

I was looking through an old Journal of mine and found this. I thought I'd repost it today.

It starts so innocently...a nice way to start your day, and you look forward to it...

Harmless, warm cup o' Joe...

Then, you start to realize, that you're really enjoying your morning dosage...and you see a way to squeeze in just a little more on the way...

...just a little more...

Then it has you. You move to

...the Next Level...

This holds you for a while, and you're content. And then, you're innocently walking along, and you hear "Hey Buddy, check this out..."

...ooooh, a bigger 'fix'...you can't resist...

And life is good. You handle it, no one has noticed just yet. It's under control.

Until that one late night, a moment of weakness, no one around...and

You're getting in deeper, but you're still holding it together...no one comments on your disposition change as you hunt, crave...

And then you top off. It calls, it beckons, you cannot resist...you struggle...perhaps it's a well-intentioned gift, a way to win your favor. They have no idea...Over you go!

The time has come. You're out of control...people are afraid of you, at your mercy ().

It's inevitable...you must regain control! You must face the enemy!

We have met the enemy...and we are THEIRS!

But, who cares? It's GOOD!

Enjoy! Wish I'd had theme music for this one...
