Uninhibited
When one overdoses on drugs or alcohol
They often move slowly
In actions and words
Some words begin to slur
Others widen far beyond their
Original meaning
Time and place mean nothing
Be it church, home
Or meeting with friends
Rules cease to have meaning
Polite expectations are
Replaced with unsolicited words
Memories of undignified actions
Are pushed out of mind
Only to be revived by others

I understand this well
My own behaviors with drugs and alcohol have effected people negatively. I’ve also been on the other end where I’ve been hurt by others. Generally accountability is not something that happens after if the incident is even remembered.
Well done,
Tim
