Bottle

I sit here looking at the bottle Wondering half fill or empty Man I got to start over again How could I have done this Thinking I can't deal with the pain Now I got a bigger problem I am going insane I can only blame myself If I ignore it maybe it will go away I just don't know what to say The bottle is not taking care of the pain I lost everything nyways I let my guard down and this is what happens It my fault at the end of the day I can't change it now, that's all I can say So what is my sobriety date?

I've been sober for nearly 2 years. Addiction is always in the closet snickering at me. But, a journey can't begin in the darkness of the wardrobe. Out of the closet, movement is possible. Best of all shame and disappointments take backstage. I admire your courage to open up.
