Although alcohol is not a part of my life
and I no longer have the compulsion to drink,
it can still occur to me what a good drink tastes like
and what it can do for me,
from my stand-at-attention alcoholic taste buds
right down to my stretched out tingling toes. . .
Such thoughts are like red flags,
telling me that something is not right,
that I am stretched beyond my sober limit.
It's time to get back to AA and see what needs changing.
That special relationship with alcohol will always be there,
waiting to seduce me again.
Without change I am just a non-drinking drunk.
