You Can't Unknow

But what I told her what she as a normie can't see is that he has no insight. Because once you know you cannot unknow. He slides into his oblivion and sees this as happiness. ~ Patricia Martin

Backsliding, relapse,
falling off wagons,
sliding, skipping meetings,
back to square one...
but not really,
not the square one.
No matter how we may wish
to escape, to go back,
to run away to our scourge
we can't, not totally.
We know somehow —
before we know anything else —
there's no going back
to powerless, hopeless,
unmanageable once we've glimpsed
the power that can,
the recovery waiting for us
at the meeting.
