A Thrill of Hope, the Weary World Rejoices
Leaning into Hope
If there is one thing that I know well, it is not to have hope for more than one day when there is an addict in your life. So many times throughout my son’s addiction journey, I have been elated only to have my hopes smashed to pieces. The roller coaster of addiction is exhausting for the loved ones of the addict, and I am sure the same is true of the addict. Years ago, I wrote this poem about this very thing.
