Dancing with Addiction

Dancing with Addiction by Edward H. is an intimate poetry collection about addiction, recovery, faith, and the difficult work of learning to live one day at a time.

Written from inside the experience of addiction and recovery, these poems give voice to the fear, shame, isolation, regret, and self-doubt that can accompany addiction, while also exploring the hope found in surrender, spiritual growth, forgiveness, gratitude, and service. Throughout the collection, the author reflects on the struggle between an addictive past and a life increasingly shaped by sobriety and a Higher Power.

The journey is deeply personal, but its invitation is broader. Dancing with Addiction speaks not only to those who question their own relationship with addiction, but also to the spouses, parents, children, friends, and loved ones seeking to understand the person behind the disease. The author explicitly dedicates the work to people who are addicted and to the family members affected alongside them.

At its heart, this collection expresses recovery through giving back. Its later poems turn repeatedly toward fellowship, service, sharing what has been learned, and carrying light to others.

Honest, spiritual, and intensely personal, Dancing with Addiction is one persons poetic testimony that even after darkness, another choice remains: recovery, connection, and one more day.
