I remember her brightly lit basement apartment because of how different my dark chaotic home was. I had almost 60 days and was starting to feel better. “I got this,” I told myself. I started to slack off on my program. “Do I really need to do all this extreme things?” I mused. “I just got carried away there for a bit. I’m fine now. Do I really have to go to meetings or call myself an alcoholic?”
