I've never been a gambling man (well woman) [or have I?]
Just a little taste
and I'm sinking low
ready to throw away
progress
for a little high
So long in sobriety;
to some it seems like
nothing
but a blip in time;
to me,
an eternity
And yet I'm willing
to put my
chips on the table
risk it all
gamble it away
when the house
always wins
Maybe I'll keep
[it]
my chips
in my pants
At least for tonight.
One day at a time.

Thank you darling, and yes, you hit it on the nose.
I keep my chips taped to the top of my desk so can see them from my bed, in the morning when I wake up, as I'm getting ready in the morning, as I sit at my computer at home, pondering all the myriad ways to fall off the wagon. Those chips are sometimes the only thing keeping me sober. I want the next increment damn it!

Wow, a "bluff" is a perfect analogy for it. Thanks for reading and for your comment!
