Assimilation complete
A disease courses through the veins
Corrupting every molecule
Infecting the synapses of the brain
This sickness wants to rule
Control every fiber
Till you're caught in its web
Waiting to be devoured
Comes on slow
Like the mist around midnight
Then rapidly steals
Your perception and insight
Assimilation complete
No longer a man
You're just a drunk
Who can't even stand
Corrupting every molecule
Infecting the synapses of the brain
This sickness wants to rule
Control every fiber
Till you're caught in its web
Waiting to be devoured
Comes on slow
Like the mist around midnight
Then rapidly steals
Your perception and insight
Assimilation complete
No longer a man
You're just a drunk
Who can't even stand

Stay on course I am rooting for you, if it becomes too unbearable, there is always AA as a motivational step by step to keep you from backsliding, and a group of your peers who have been or who is going through recovery.
Be thankful in your own admiration when those days manifest into weeks, then months one step at a time, and consider your spouse and those two heirs who are proud of each day that is behind you, thus far.
I will check in on you periodically. Try to stay away from any Vivitrol Injections if you can, unless it is your last resort...
I applaud you sincerely on your road to self-recovery.
