Why I Drank

I drank to be witty - and I became a boor. I drank to relax - and I couldn't stop my hands from shaking. I drank to feel good - and I suffered through sickening hangovers. I drank to be happy - and it made me depressed. I drank to be a good dancer - and it made me a stranger. I drank to be a good conversationalist - and I couldn't pronounce the words. I drank to be sociable - and I became angry and resentful. I drank to help my appetite - and cheated my body of nutrition by not eating right. I drank to be a good lover - and I couldn't perform. I drank to show I was a man - and became a slobbering, bawling baby. I drank to be popular - and lost my friends. I drank to enjoy life - and contemplated suicide. I drank for camaraderie - and drove everyone away from me. I drank to escape - and built a prison for myself. I drank to find peace - and I found hell. ----------------------------------When ever bad feelings prevail. Don't let them shadow and take control of your life or you will end up living that feeling which will cause you to fail, lead you to resentments, self-pity, remorse, self-centeredness, giving up and ultimately emotional imbalance. Use the facts as they are and look for the good in those facts. Use the good to remove the bad feelings that blind and prevent you from seeing the truth instead of the feeling.

hello from the rainy south

have to make the best of it, tomorrow is a new day

Ya know  I drank cus i'm a alcoholic,  and i love to drink.

I just got sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Not Yet's

Not all of those things happened yet, but i'm sure they could with practice.

You go to meetings, people tell why they drank (every reason possible)

Didn't they like it?  I never needed a reason, I just liked it.

It's where it takes you

I was asked to go to a bar tonight, I declined.

Oh well,  I have a choice today.

The sun just peeked out, think I'll step out into it
