My sobriety isn't up for discussion, but as for vices, I seem to hack away at them with my invisible machete from dawn till dusk. The vice of 'more' is an ongoing theme.

It's weird, I was such a survivor and so wanted to be a part of life while I was trying to snuff out the life that was inside of me.
