Spiral
The drinking did not get any better, in fact, it got worse for John, and things spiraled out of control. He barely went outside, only to visit his wife’s grave and the rest of the time was at home, drinking. If he continued on like this, things were not looking too good for him.
He didn’t know what to do anymore, there came a breaking point where he knew that a change needed to happen. It was for his own well-being and health. He didn’t want to go out like a miserable man with nothing to live for, he was always positive and optimistic.
