The first thing you learn is the war never ends. Recovery is an everyday struggle. No matter what you try and do, you're never truly safe. And those demons that you want to forget, lock them in a box; they'll keep coming after you, reminding you of everything you want to forget. Everything you've ever done wrong. Everyone you've ever failed. All the damage you've caused and the people you've lost, and you'll want to give in. Just take a hit. Just have a drink. But it's a choice, an excruciatingly painful and impossible feeling choice. But for me, today, I'm going to choose to keep fighting. I'm going to choose to keep the demons at bay.
