Early one Sunday Morning before sunrise, I woke up in depression and anxiety. I had been sober for almost three years and this day the panic that booze always medicated had me thinking of relapse. I wandered around my condo and found myself sitting at the keyboard of my computer. I began to write and at the age of 55 completed my first poem. I have now written well over 100.
