I DRANK

In the beginning...
My family drank and they built our life's around it;
My family drank and I wanted nothing to do with it;
My family drank and pushed me toward it.
Then it started...
I drank and swore my life to it;
I drank and put my life on hold because of it;
I drank and it ate the life from all around it.
Then it stopped...
And I owe my life to it.
