Alcoholic Cycle

I’ve rationalized my way to that point again. 
There seemed to be a good reason to start (using), 
And a reason to follow it up, for just a couple days.
“Get it out of my system.”  I may say.
I’ll think of some way or another of writing it off when I need to. 
But by the final time I am reaching for it, I know the reason I began made no real sense at all.

Smoking. Drinking. Been there done those. I agree. Just a short period of absolute madness, then a REAL struggle. Congrats on this selection. Dave
