This poem is one of my favorites so far. I love the fact that he can write about something with such feeling. This really makes me realize what it could really be like for some people to stop doing something that they are addicted to. The person in this poem is so strong and proud. On a word level this poem works because it uses several phrases known for addictions like "cold turkey" or "hooked." Also the person in the poem doesn't sit there and say "hey i'm bigger than this." There is a little bit of frustration involved in it.
The things that don't work for this poem is the absolute lack of punctuation. The poem might work a little better if there were some punctuation.
