Alcohol

ENTERING A PUB, ORDERING A PINT. I SIT DOWN TO THINK, WHY DO I DRINK. ONE BY ONE COME UP THE THINGS, THAT CAUSES ME TO DRINK. LOSS OF LOVE, STARTED IT OFF. AND IT BECAME A HABIT, THAT HAS PUT ITS BIND UPON ME. UNTIL INTOXICATION BECAME COMPANION, IN MY TIMES OF NEED. NOW THAT I AM SOBER, I STILL THINK, WHY DO I NEED TO DRINK. I SUDDENLY REALIZE, THAT INTOXICATION WAS A SHIELD BEHIND WHICH, I HID, IN TIMES OF NEED. AS THE TRUTH SETTLES IN MY MIND, I SET DOWN THE GLASS AND LEAVE THE PUB. MAKING A VOW NOT TO HIDE BEHIND THE SHIELD OF INTOXICATION AGAIN.
