Hurts to Hear..
it hurts to hear daughter and son don’t matter
i’m climbing emotional ladders
can’t understand
the man
the person behind the addiction
the lies, the contradiction
missing out on
your children
making the same mistakes
a child’s heart should never break
their innocent spirit should never be broken
i’m hoping, while i plead
“stop smoking!”
that toxic cloud
makes nothing clear
year after year
the discovery of relapse
always hurts to hear

Detox is short for detoxification and involves the removing of toxic substances from your body via the bloodstream. The human body has a natural detox function through the liver, kidneys and lower gastrointestinal tract. Before learning how to detox your body naturally, you need to understand the basics of how your body cleanses itself: The liver attempts to keep the body clean as it denies other toxins from entering the blood stream, however, over time, this body detox process is exposed to so many toxins that this natural fight mechanism can wear down – so learning how to detox your body can bring substantial benefits to your health and well being.
Drug detox is the first step in the journey to abstinence and a drug-free life. The process must always be done under medical supervision and care since the patient will likely battle withdrawal symptoms while abstaining from whatever substance they are dependent on. After detoxing, the body is cleansed from the toxins brought on from abusing their bodies. There should be a greater chance of the patient staying clean if counseling and other rehabilitation efforts are continued following detoxification.
