I'm not drinking just to forget - It takes the edge of the fear, makes me more forgiving, my smile warmer, my hands more welcoming. It lasts until I go to sleep - And then my room is an ocean and I'm getting tossed in the air.
I stopped drinking and it didn't change me. My hands stopped reaching for a bottle that wasn't there. I stopped drinking until I decided that I could have just one, just one, just two.
I'm not an addict, I'm an artist, I say again and again and again.
