“So what will you have”? He asked

“A shot, I think…”

“Rough day?” He asked

“Rough life” I said

“I’ve got just the thing for you….

A Cocktail”

I smiled (that fake smile)

It started out with one…slowly increased to two, three now four… It took time… but I ended up with way more than I ever thought I would.

Meds for depression, anxiety. Then there meds for those meds…

A cocktail.
