"One Trick Pony, Dismount"


(Surimi): Now, that is funny. "One trick pony"? He's had countless relapses, fallen off the wagon, gotten back on his sobriety high horse, and now he wants to be a one trick pony.

    But listen up, guys. When he says "one trick pony," I think he means "from this day forward." You know, like a wedding vow, except this time it reflects a commitment to sobriety.

    If fear doesn’t overtake him. Or his ego, past or future. Or some misaligned need for instant gratification. Then he’s got a shot, guys. I think he’s got a shot.

    And I mean a shot at sobriety, not a shot of scotch.

from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Day 51)
