Irreducible

I know many words,
useful tools they are.
This one discovered today
intrigues, inspires.
Irreducible. Impossible
to transform into
or restore to
a desired or simpler condition.
Bare bones, essence,
quintessence.
The root, the core.
Our commitment to abstinence first —
is the most important thing in our lives
without exception.
Abstinence is irreducible
to Recovery.
