married by a bottle of whisky

It's dawn, cock crows, my bed cries from the weight of my body. it is another day to struggle and survive to meet my needs and never forgetting my wife "whiskey" at our local pub, "kill me quick."

I have been married to alcohol since high school after being introduced to it by my friend Johnny when I was still in form two. I had never tried it and I never knew the power it possesses until that very day. Even though I was from a humble family, I didn't have control to it.

I made it to the university, away from my parents and this made it worse since drinking became a behavior rather than a habit.

A few coins that I had ended being used on alcohol. Fridays' were the days to drink and wake up the next day only to realize that you slept in a trench.

I lost my job after graduation due to alcohol, I survive through hustling but I can't do away with alcohol scene.

It gives me peace of mind after a tiresome day, I can say I am a slave to drinking.Whiskey is my wife I can't do without her, my confidence relies on her. It is in my blood stream.
