My first wake up call
to alcohol
being a problem was
I was at the dentist
and they had sedated me
to extract some wisdom teeth.
And I'm waking up to
these faces looking at me
and I felt like
I had just got done sobbing.
My face was puffy
but I just woke up
just looking at what is wrong.
And they told me that
I had been sobbing.
Just, deep, gut wrenching sobs.
And the dentist said,
how much alcohol do you drink?
It was such,
to me,
a random question
why would you ask me that?
Apparently, if you drink a lot,
it affects how they sedate you
and how well the sedation works
for various procedures.
And that that was an indicator.
And apparently I had some
demons that were just
living inside of me.
And that conversation
with the dentist about alcohol
caused me for the
first time to seek treatment.
