She is the angry burn of alcohol. The choking feeling when you've taken too many shots in too little time. She is the fire in your chest when brave little you took a hit bigger than the clouds in the Seattle sky. She is the unmistakeable unshakeable fear brought on by the bad acid trip. The pinch, poke, & sting of the needles in your arm. She is the abused substances and she is the abuse that drove you to them. She is twice as addictive three times as dangerous and there are no Twelve Steps or support groups or miraculous stories of survival. You'll never be clean again. s.mndi
