One Last Time

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
It's time to return to the rooms of recovery
much as I hate to do it. So when?
Should I set a date? It's one I'll be remembering
the rest of my life, I guess, since I've surely proven
I can't do it on my own. I should pick a jazzy one,
memorable, like New Years or 123456.
Then what? One last time, for old time's sake?
I'd promise myself to get back when that day came...
But could I keep the promise?
I still can't do it on my own.
So what's today? It's a good-enough date.
