Life really ain't simple.

When Julie had her last drink. Yesterday. She vomited. All over herself. Julie suggested. That might be a good sign. A good lesson. That if she continues to drink. She’s going to puke.  Believe me. Puking is the least of Julie’s woes. She’s not only an alcoholic. But a victim of devastating depression. Languishing. Hopelessly, it seems. Unable to grasp the severity of her condition. Unable to gain control of herself. That’s my definition of mental illness. Julie should be put away. And treated. Until she’s capable of taking charge of her life again. It’s that simple. But life is too complex. It really ain’t simple. --Jim Broede
