Sober Alcoholics: I gave up
I’ve always thought I was strong, I didn’t realize that things were just going my way. I thought I had it figured out, I didn’t realize I was tapping on already charted waters. Life… yeah It sometimes doesn’t matter how prepared you think you are … yeah You just find yourself hiding, not from anyone […]

Sober Alcoholics: (The Perfectionist)
No, wait, it’s not ready yet. We need to pay attention to every detail. Quality is the only standard accepted. This is not going anywhere until it’s perfect. Forgive me I’m a bit of a perfectionist. I prefer to consider every possible scenario. I hate coming out as if I’m naive. In every attempt, I […]

Sober Alcoholics: (Natural doesn’t sell)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, they say. My eyes are always looking at a screen. The screen always has something to say about what I’m looking at. Actually, the screen always has something to sell. The screen is a such a smooth talker, I even forget they’re just trying to get a […]

Truth be told, light only touches the surface. Darkness goes deeper. When there’s light, everyone sees […]

Sober Alcoholics: (Gave it my all)
With both my hands, it’s like I’m holding sand.I don’t want to let it go.If I open my hands to hold it gently, the wind blows it over.So I hold on tight, it bruises my skin and falls through my fingers. I invested a lot in this, it’s falling apart.Funny that I’m the only one […]

Sober Alcoholics: (Boxed In)
Surrounded by glass walls. Opening only from the outside. I see everything. I think they’re tinted, nobody sees me. I must have magic, people come in when they want something. However, they knock first, to see if it’s safe. It must be sound proof, no one hears me in my time of need. But I […]
