Pretty Drastic

But the program of action, though entirely sensible, was pretty drastic. It meant I would have to throw several lifelong conceptions out of the window. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous (Kindle Locations 692-693)

Pretty drastic, this recovery.
Innocuous to begin with,
though kind of lame,
seems silly at first.
But something pulls,
draws you back,
intrigues. Something they have,
you'd love to find...
And then you find it,
but it claims your life.
You're no longer in charge,
surrendering,
throwing all you value out.
Yes, it's pretty drastic.
And quite wondrous!
