Never Been Chris'd (2023, Jeff Beesley)

Would you take it?

This pill.

I found it the other day, come loose, unhidden, when I muscled open The Drawer That Always Sticks. Like a vision from my narcotically-charged past, it rolled towards me. Revealed amongst the nail files and travel-sized toothpastes. And the ol’ Sesame Street ditty began to play…

“One of these things is not like the others,

One of these things just doesn't belong…”

This pill.

Small. White. Oblong-ish. Whose was it? It wasn’t ours. We’ve only lived here for two months. I’ve been sober for six years.

Had I gasped? Because now there was silence. Just the calming tappity-tappity-tap from my husband’s office. Proof that not everyone’s world had come to a breath-catching halt.

I pierced it between two fingers. Reverently. Respect, man. Any substance that can bring me to my knees with: 1) Snot-sobbing, body-rocking prayer OR 2) Obsessive, soul-crippling desire for infinite amounts of said substance deserves meticulous placement into the palm of my hand.

Or was I in the palm of its hand?

This pill.

As I placed it into my ice-cool, professional Mistress-of-the-Swipe calmness of palm, I felt the reflex. The hard-wired default to throw my head back and toss this unknown pharmaceutical potential down my eager throat.

One second. Maybe half.

My mind whirled with explosions of curiosity. “10 mg? 10 g? Of what? Benzo? Opiate? Speed?” As if what it was would make any difference when it came to what I had to do.

Should do.

Might do.

This pill.

And then.

I moved. Into the bedroom. Grabbed my phone. Took a picture. Sent it to my sponsor. And walked into my husband’s office with an outstretched arm and declared,

“I found a pill.”

There. My relapse had been exterminated.

This pill.

Even in the photo I snapped, it seems to straddle darkness and light, highlighting the choice my addict’s mind makes every day. Will I Jekyll my way into Life, or Hyde myself toward Death?

And I realized, I had been surprised. By my throat-opening reflex. By my curiosity to know what substance would be ceremoniously flushed away into Winnipeg’s sewage system.

And that’s where my Addiction lives. In that half second where I forget about the rubbing alcohol I drank.

The pills I stole.

The hearts I broke.

The life I nearly lost.

Half a second.

That’s all Addiction needs.

But not today.

NIKKI DELOACH AND ANDREW WALKER CELEBRATE A ‘SWEET AUTUMN’ A NEW, ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING OCTOBER 17, ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

Part of the Network’s Annual “Fall Harvest” Programming Event

STUDIO CITY, CA – September 30, 2020 – After starring together in the 2017 Hallmark Channel original movie “The Perfect Catch,” Nikki DeLoach (“Awkward,” “Two Turtle Doves”) and Andrew Walker (“Merry & Bright”) reunite in “Sweet Autumn,” a new, original movie premiering Saturday, October 17 (9 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel as part of the network’s annual “Fall Harvest” programming event.

Maggie (DeLoach) is a successful entrepreneur who returns home for the reading of a will and discovers she’s inherited half of her aunt’s famed maple candy business. What she doesn’t understand is why Aunt Dee’s maple supplier, Dex (Walker), inherited the other half. Her return also coincides with the town’s Sweet Autumn Fest, and through a series of letters Aunt Dee (Henriette Ivanans, “Star Trek: Voyager”) left, Maggie and Dex search for the reason behind her aunt’s final wishes.

“Sweet Autumn” is produced by Sweet Autumn Pictures Inc. Stan Spry and Eric Woods served as executive producers. Gary Yates directed from a script written by Tyler Straessle.
