100 Proof? Try Zero Proof.

"You can't handle the proof."

 

The Court of Public Opinion will convict me. "You can't handle the proof."

The Masquerade of Time will dispel Recovery's urgency. "You can't handle the proof."

I'm addicted to self, a lifetime of self. "You can't handle the proof."

My disease trails me like a slug praying to catch up. "You can't handle the proof."

What is my disease and what do I have left? "You can't handle the proof."

Sobriety is my long-last act of love. I can almost handle the truth.
