My parents said I could be anything,
so, I became an alcoholic/addict.
I should explain this is not a good road,
filled with deep pot holes and deadly blind curves.
Problems were a-plenty, a whole busload,
slaves to addiction get on others nerves.
My life fell apart one piece at a time,
no matter how hard I grasped- it slipped away.
Soul rolling in guilt and covered with grime,
a puppet dancing alcohol's sad ballet.
Waking every day to a hangover,
each morning I swore I'd do it no more.
But addictions had become my lover,
had forgotten the life I led before.
The day came when I had to ask for help,
AA held out their hands, I fit right in.
Before I totally destroyed myself,
every one of them knew my deepest sin.
My brothers, sisters fight the same Demon,
I no longer drink Satan's foul semen.

21. Write me something using this phrase in the entry/as inspiration: "My parents said I could be anything. So, I became a _____" (you may fill the blank in with whatever you desire)
If you or anybody you know thinks they might have a problem with Alcohol or Drugs, chances are good that they do.
Seek help from the local AA/NA organization near you.
Listen to the similarities in the stories not the differences,
don't leave 5 minutes before the miracle happens.
