I thought you were my friend and I gave you freely of my time
Now I see I was hurt - a fine friend, my friend, you turned out to be
As I wrecked body, spirit and mind, wasted so much precious time!
This day, this hour, I say, I’ll really pray
I’ll keep my demons, small and large, at bay
I’ll make my prayer count having been restrained all around.
Smile a little, give a little - do a little good
Little things, small things - good things all
Do them now, do them always - pacing little by little.
"Mine will never be yours, yours never mine
To you yours, to me mine"
I'll have courage and I'll have pride
With wisdom I'll choose what works just fine.
Religiosity appears winded, narrow to some
Just like a river, for one given to compare
But the river eventually meets up with the sea
Imagine with proper religiosity where one could be!
Find a group, make a group, stay a group together
Find a cause, take up a cause, because you changed together
Stay the course, be a force, let the past literally surrender!
Claiming to be faithful should it be for real
Would have us pray as well as listen
The "needy" in peace with the "Self-sufficient"!

Entering the body variously [via drinking, smoking and inhaling, snorting, smelling, injecting, inserting, etc.] for the express intention of gaining pure pleasure and relaxation it produces, in the long run it reveals itself to be the Trojan horse it is. It is an induced/acquired mental (i.e., psychological and emotional) and physical disease.
Once viewed as an impulse control failure, GA has been reclassified as a mental disease. No matter what gambling has been to a person, how it has arrived and is pursued – as a past-time or a challenge, casually or regularly, self-discovered or inducted, as an early starter or a late-comer, openly or secretly, in solvency or in-debt, family-sensitive or irresponsible - girded by precarious financial condition, its steely grip produces tremendous psychological and emotional
According to current professional assessment, HSD/IDO/SA is not a disease but an impulse control disorder. It is taking a normal, adult inclination into directions, places, times, people, and processes that are far from normal.
