Embarrassed antics Drunk girl unlovely creature Sober woman now Temptation to drink? Newcomer in despair shows To drink is to die Self pity toxic Solution in acceptance No pity party Living on life's terms Thy will, not mine be done now Serene at long last Self centered human look for similarities IT'S ALL ABOUT ME Hook up with sponsor Go to meetings, climb steps Service, do the work Resentment kicks ass Worth my sanity? Think not Fuel for compulsion Fellowship can heal All of us have a story Isolation breaks Not my universe I am just a passenger Creator nodding |
One year no boozing Wouldn't be hard for many That's not my story Change of consciousness Using the twelve sacred steps Landslide psychic shift This ship going down God help me I'm drowning A sea of liquor High bottom fortune Horrifying - 'yets' -to come Blackouts, dead, ahead Coin in my pocket Will not dissolve in my mouth Long wait for next drink The one I desire Is never the one I have Chasing next bottle Clearing the wreckage Takes action and more action One day at a time Failure on my own Character defects galore Dependence on God Honest look in light Inventory taking time Is this the real me? |
