detox

self disgust and disappointment for the slip-up but I need to know what cheapens intimacy devaluing myself devalues anyone with whom I would share something valuable it's why I'm detoxing from all these dopamine pumps and anesthestics (gambling and alcohol) how could online "intimacy" not be included in the mix that keeps me from feeling all must go until this backlog can be managed

Hi Steven, this poem reminds me that we all have "Skeletons in our closets." Most of us are not strong enough to reveal them to others and it takes courage to do so as you've done here. No shame, no blame and thanks for sharing. Write on, Terrell
