Erstwhile Erratic Alcoholics

Our Society then entered a fearsome and exciting adolescent period. The test that it faced was this: Could these large numbers of erstwhile erratic alcoholics successfully meet and work together? ~ ​Alcoholics Anonymous, ​Second Edition
Erratic capsulizes my life.
This way, that way, around again.
Public dieting, private drive-through queen.
Professional, competent, respected
to browbeaten, insecure, guilt-ridden.
Confident talking to crowds,
nonplussed in smalltalk.
I was powerless, hopeless, incompetent
until a higher power restored (or brought) sanity.
I'm just hoping the old negatives
are erstwhile.
