Step 1 1/2 - The Choice

When we got married, love,
Our promises exchanged,
A drunk I was back then,
Not very much has changed.

I don't know why this is,
I truly gave my heart,
It's got a hold on me,
I cannot do my part.

It started out as fun –
Relief from daily pain,
Off-duty at my work,
And weekends now and then.

But now it's out of hand,
Can't manage life at best,
And I no power have –
Can't drink now like the rest.

I'm facing choices now –
The diagnosis in –
To face disease somehow,
Or wallow where I've been.

I stand to lose a lot
My husband, baby child,
Career, and all I've got,
On roller coaster wild.
