Once I Drank

Once I drank, Know now I don't, blissful lie, now I won't. Once I drank, know now I can't, thrice to die, now I shan't. Once I drank, now I see, life returned, know now I'm me.

Thank you, it took me three times in hospital, once in a coma and way to much knocking on heavens door to finally wake up. If words could save ay!
