as much to help others as to help myself.
Telling of the bad things I did in the past,
of my arrogance in thinking I had control.
Living for drink or drug, is no way to live,
I know this, I did it for thirty plus years.
Numbed myself to the world, buried my fears,
only taking from you, never did I give.
What's yours is yours, until I make it mine,
I'm ashamed of the things I did for a buck.
Life had beaten me senseless before I gave up,
crawling, demoralized, begging for help...
Was shown I was powerless over alcohol,
and that my life was unmanageable.*
Explained why I always felt so terrible,
my operating system needs a fresh install.
A vicious worm has infected my system,
corrupted programs are running rampant.
Lies bred more lies and become my truth,
denial is a deadly dangerous thing.
Weeping, I held out my hand to A.A.,
Alcoholic Antivirus saved my life.
