Wow John! Heartfelt stuff here!

I'm assuming this is your bridge?:

They say that every healing journey starts with an admission of addiction
I’ll try dreaming my wishes away every night, let the years go by
In the meantime, so long, hope you find what you’re after
I know I couldn’t find you anywhere that mattered


For my money I would leave off "of addiction" in the first line because you've already used "addiction" in the previous verse. I think it stands up well without and you can let the listeners fill in the blanks in their own heads. Not much of a nit, just a gut feeling.

Anyway, fine job here! Best o' luck with it!
