When I Drink...

When I drink, the only world there is is alcohol. I will drink until I blackout and I will continue drinking until I pass out. “More” is the only word I know. More, until I blackout and then still more until my body shuts down and I pass out. And somehow, even then, more is not enough. My disease cannot ever be satisfied. When there is nothing else, there is always more.
More is everything… and nothing.
I will never be like “most normal folks.”
When I drink, the only world there is is alcohol.
 
from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Chapter 47)
