Analysis of Alcoholics Anonymous



There’s nothing I understand more than substance abuse.
Wanting to escape from the cruel reality we call life.
Living feels like a chore and that drink, that blunt, that pill
makes it a little more tolerable.
However,
it makes us weak.
That drink, that blunt, that pill,
that will be our downfall.
Enduring life sober seems impossible,
but relying on a substance for happiness,
ignoring your problems,
and lying to yourself, saying your okay,
it just fucks you over even more.
