As the whisky rose to my head I told myself I would manage better next time, but I might as well get good and drunk then. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, page 6

The old “might as well” attitude.
I messed up, failed,
so I’m a failure,
and I’ll wallow in that mud
for now with all the intention
tomorrow – or on Monday,
or January 1st,
or sometime
I’ll get it right
by doing
the same thing again
and proving
I’m a failure
and worthless
again.

Thank God
there’s an exit sign
if we just pay attention
and we can escape
the miserable funhouse.
