The Alcohol Medicament Predicament

When he saw the stream, he started to panic ever so slightly! More pink than red but usually, until this void, came out slightly yellow or damn near clear. He just stared at the pinkish stream thinking just one thing, Pancreatitis! 

But it didn't surprise him one bit. Since his Father's passing in1994 and his Mother's passing in 2004, which just escalated the drinking, he had medicated himself with at least two or more drinks everyday. Feeling the pressure in his bladder lessen he was still amazed by the still pinkish flow? Please turn yellow or clear. Please.? He was still hoping by the last shake before he tucked in and zipped up. 

He was washing his hands and looking at himself in the mirror located face level right over the bathroom sink. Just looking into his eyes thinking, man whatever it is, this is going to hurt! And I'm going to have to quit drinking!? That thought made him panic even more. He looked down at his hands, now clean. Turned the faucet off. Got a paper towel off of the spool, began drying. He looked up at himself in the mirror again, then said to himself...I'm ready.

Threw away the papery refuse.

And,

It was time to take his bevy of morning supplements when he noticed the one he just started taking since yesterday. The six ounce container of Beet Juice Powder that he was heavy handed with the banana, peanut butter, raspberry, blueberry, coconut milk and beet juice powder smoothie when he had made for himself...yesterday evening...

He smiled big! Then thought to himself:

Thank God! 

I can still drink alcohol!...

(Peace! More to come...)
