Dust Free

I had just come out of treatment in April 2012, and upon returning to work a close co-worker and confidant of mine asked me, “Are you really sure you’re an alcoholic?” I knew the answer was a definite “Yes,” but how could I explain it to her? I thought for a minute and I told her that after all I had been through, the answer was simple: Did I have dust? She looked at me and chuckled. “What does that mean?” she asked.
