“Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.”





-Emily Dickinson


Empty apologies for empty bottles. They say alcoholism is a disease, and it is, but so is denial. Fighting the diseases that played her body and soul, the diseases that took over her brain were admirable. It's a journey to get from point A to point B, but pretending like there was never a problem to begin with will get you nowhere. She learned that the hard way. A constant pull between who she was and who the disease made her, but in the end she pushed back the disease and faced her demons. Redemption was finally claimed. Now the real question is, can she keep it? She didn't.
