One Small Step

“Almost forgot, I want to ask you about these pills,” Brittany said. She put a bottle of Vicodin on my desk. “I got these when I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I’ve been taking half of one for headaches. Didn’t think it was a big deal, but I wanted to check.”

“Kid, they’re not prescribed for headaches.  Taking one is a step in the wrong direction.”

“I’m not taking one, I’m only taking half. It’s half a step, a small step at worst.”

 “There’s no such thing as a small step when you’re moving in the wrong direction.”

Today I’ll remember, there is no such thing as a small step in the wrong direction.
