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
