Thanks, Carlos, and believe me, I understand
Addiction, like this latest surgery, was not exactly planned
I avoided opioids until I awoke from surgery already high
Then I tried to cut the dose too soon and thought that I would die
But three days out and I'm already feeling ready to wean
Still on the Percocet but quit the pure oxy in between
Tomorrow I'll maybe try one instead of two
Or wait six instead of four hours like I had tried too early to do
I'm thankful for them after having bone carved from my spine
And there's no way in hell I'm drinking a sip much less a glass of wine
No, I get it and I'm handling it and I won't let this go on for long
I've been through too much to allow making myself right go horribly wrong
