One Year, Three Months

The hard part of sobriety is that
I never know how much I love it
Until I’m deeply intoxicated

The hard part of sobriety is that
I have to guess my limits,
Sometimes accidentally crossing them

The hard part of sobriety is that
It is a solid yellow line I should not cross
But there are exceptions to every rule

The hard part of sobriety is that
I have to decide which part is hardest--
And there is no right answer
