"Am I out of luck?
Am I waiting to break?
When I keep saying that I'm looking for a way to escape
Oh, I'm wishing I had what I'd taken for granted
I can't help you when I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'm going to mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again."
• Shots, Imagine Dragons

Cole had sworn that he never wanted to be in this hell hole again. He had been so fucking sure that once would be enough for him to learn his lesson. But of course, he had to fuck up all over again and he was now lying in the fetal position on the uncomfortable bed, sweating, shaking, nauseated, wishing his own death. The DTs had set in. He felt like he was about to lose his mind.

( Addiction was a tragic thing. Horrific, even. The thing about the human mind was that memory of pain can be skewed as time goes on. It doesn’t go away, but you begin to see it differently... )
