The Comfort of Tea
By Miranda Monahan, for the Get Comfortable challenge
To make tea:
Ignite the stove.
Place the kettle.
Wait for a boil.
Once boiled, pour over a tea bag.
Into a mug it goes.
Steep and let cool.
Enjoy:
Let the flavours of green, black, white, and red tea pour over your taste buds.
The warmth of the tea covers you like a blanket.
On cold days, it feels like a hug.
It comforts you when you are sick or sad.
It can be consumed with many different foods or all by itself.
There are many different varieties to choose from.
Choose one or many different flavours to explore.
Travel to a new place or a different time.
Without leaving home.
That is the comfort of tea.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
