Addiction (15)
  1. I’m a drug addict. Specifically, a recovering drug addict. More specific, a grateful recovering drug addict.
  2. “Why now,” I said to no one, or to myself, or to God. Whoever. I was drunk, strung out, mostly dead, hopeless in the darkness. I knew I’d done it all to myself. I didn’t need God to drive the point home.
  3. But I remember that that’s how it ended. Words. Wine. Blood. A sudden halt to the conversation.
