The wars, when we fight, cannot be won
But they will not be lost if His will done
Serenity and Acceptance these are the keys
Humility and Gratitude will help set me free.
I am an alcoholic this I know,
"Easy does it," they say; "Let yourself grow."
"I have no patience," I exclaim with a sigh,
"Give it time," says the old-timer, "Neither did I."
"Don't drink, go to meetings it's what you must do,
Ask God for help; He'll come through for you."
I'm lonely, I'm scared I'm lost and confused
Over the years I've been used and abused.
I know that you're lying; you can't feel what you say,
But God! I'd give anything to feel that way.
"Keep coming back," you say, "Recovery's in sight"
"It works," you say; I retort, "Yeah, right."
But the light's getting brighter; some things have changed,
Two months clean and sober, I'm not as deranged.
In these rooms, at these tables, I see what I'm after.
Acceptance, Love, Hope, but most of all Laughter.
I'm happier now, a little more free.
I'm so very grateful you did this for me.
So I'll see you tomorrow, same time, same place,
I hope you'll be here I like seeing your face.
So if you feel like drinking, your life's out of whack,
Just remember: It Works
And Keep Coming Back.
..........
You are richer today if you have laughed, given or forgiven

I appreciate this very much. I am feeling so awful right now and the kind words and the support help. I wish I deserved it.

Trust me, Tip, You deserve it......... a saying in AA I really hate, but it's so very true, "this too shall pass".
It really does get better........ one day at the time.
Love you, man!

you deserve it!!
Get up dust off and try again!!
God knows, I'm good at trying again.
One time I had 6 years --thats my record run--one day at a time. Now it's day by day. It always was day by day--the days add up. Oh well enough for this new comer.
