different addictions – v5

Different addictions
addictive behavior;
Stimulants, depressants
a long list of chemicals;
Prescription, illicit,
over the counter medications
addictive behaviors, habits

Different addictions
drugs, tobacco, alcohol, shopping, TV,
selfies, IPhones, games… ,
Anything we consume
that begins to consume us;
Anything we can’t let go
that seems to control us
