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 never was and still am not a believer in God as most of the worlds religions would have us think of him / her. I do believe that something is out there. I may have a strange view of 'God' but the whole AA way of thinking works, there is no doubt about that!
Hope your having a good day, best wishes.

I loved it! Was wondering who wrote it? Is it copyright protected by that person? The reason I ask is I would be interested in possibly using it as lyrics for a song and put some music to it. Not that I can sing or play guitar very well, but it would be a fun thing to try. lol
Hope everyone is doing good. I am enjoying reading all the post I have been missing lately.
