Now I know what it’s like to lose all of my inhibitions
Inhibited while sober
Sober and free…
because I created that freedom
The freedom I chose
Freedom that chose me
It was my choice to quit
… vacate and remove myself from danger
… no addiction, just concrete reasons that me, myself, and my condition have made
The irony of this condition made this decision trouble-free yet complicated
a condition that would change the course of my life… a roadblock to change paths, make that turn directed by the arrow as the red-light persists to stay
The funny thing is Epilepsy gave me the ultimatum…
The ultimatum between life and death
To quit the one drink on which every occasion ran through my mind in this weird seesaw effect
A new decade meant new changes… no addiction, just a thought of mine of dreaming to stop
Turning the verb into an action
