Relapse Stories

She came into the world covered in newborn warmth and light- and in that instant, a young mother with a fractured past felt her entire soul crack open. "That's my daughter... that's my daughter." Those were the first words spoken into Karmen's life-words whispered through trembling hands and happy tears, words strong enough to pull a broken girl into motherhood. But love doesn't erase reality. When her father chose work over witnessing her first breath, when the home waiting for her was nothing more than a condemned trailer filled with wires, roaches, and memories that hurt-her mother made a choice. A choice to save her daughter, even if it meant starting from nothing. With nothing but a borrowed couch, a bassinet, and the burning promise to do better, she fought for a fresh start. Three A.M. feedings, quiet tears, exhaustion, fear of failing-all of it lived in the same tiny apartment where a young mother built a world out of hope, one heartbeat at a time. This is the beginning of a story told through two lives intertwined- a mother learning how to stand, and a daughter becoming the reason she didn't fall. Raw. Emotional. Heartbreaking. A testament to the power of a mother's vow and a child's place in it. This isn't just where their journey begins- this is where they begin each other.

Prequel to Barbed Wire Psalms Carousel of Destruction is a series of raw, confessional poems about the cycles we swear we're done with... until they pull us back in. Addiction. Relapse. Temptation. Memory. Survival. Every piece is a snapshot of the spin- the chaos, the crash, and the climb back out. These aren't pretty stories. They're the ones you feel in your ribs. - Left The Circle I - The Pullback II - Downward Spiral III https://www.patreon.com/posts/barbed-wire-144840033?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

Some cycles don't break quietly. Some hit the ground at full speed. Downward Spiral is the third entry in the Carousel of Destruction series - a raw, unfiltered look at addiction, relapse, the lies we tell ourselves, and the moments when everything feels one step from collapse. This isn't a story about heroes. It's a story about survivors. About the wreckage we wake up in, the voices that drag us back, and the relentless pull of a past that never seems done with us. If you've ever felt the spin, the numbness, the "one more won't hurt," the crash that always follows- you'll feel this one in your bones. Welcome back to the ride. Hold on tight. The ground is coming fast.

Way had arrived at the bottom. He had not much to do down there except ruin himself and his life. So he took the first chance to get better. Not having ended his life turned out to be a blessing and his previous downfall helped him turn his life around. Being himself used to be a burden and he didn't really know how to live outside of addiction and self destructive behaviour. Having these new friends should help him. Even if he was crushing on one special friend, Way's convinced he will never turn back to his old habits. He swore he'd never do that again. If he just hadn't spoken to soon...
