Who am I kidding, I’d of taken any kind
Spinning and spinning, further down the drain
Drinking away my problems was a losing game
The lies I told, to everyone else
Weren’t as bad as the ones I told myself
The bottle of booze was all I could see
And I thought I was one drink away from feeling free
Then one day I’d had enough of that horrible pain
And knew I had no one but myself to blame
I had grown tired of circling that drain
Little did I know that I’d never be the same
I looked up at the sky and I made a promise
And with earnest desire, I found Alcoholics Annonymous
I found open arms and words of wisdom
People with hope in their hearts and lives of optimism
I found a miracle I can’t quite define
That began to heal my body and mind
One day at a time, I began to see
There was something bigger out there, bigger than me
With the help of the rooms and lots from above
I felt less hate and a lot more love
There was talk of hope and a fourth dimension
And too many familiar stories to mention
I found kindred spirits that knew who I was
And people who helped me, “just because”
I’m amazed at the person I’ve started to become
And from now on the life I live will be a sober one

A motivating ⅾiscussion is definitely worth comment.
I do believe that you ought to publіsh more
on this issue, it might not bе a taboo matter but uѕuaⅼly folks don’t spеɑk about
these subjects. To tһe next! Chеers!!
Just looking to reach out to get to a better place…a sober place…
I’ve been in AA for over 5 years, happily. But recently I slipped. My husband has become an extremely negative person who chides me for having a positive viewpoint. He has always somewhat negative but has become extremely so. I’ve tried to talk to him about it to no avail. It had gotten to the point that I couldn’t say anything at all about anything without him telling me I was wrong. I’m not a stupid person and was tired of being depicted as such. So I, unfortunately turned to alcohol. I’d like to get back to where I was, living without alcohol.
