DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
My using of drugs and my drinking of booze,
led to insufferable, miserable blues.
Deep dark depression, just short of me crying.
I was a mess. I believe I was dying.
Desperate and lonely and aching inside.
Wouldn't seek help. Couldn't swallow my pride.
Hoped that a miracle soon would occur.
I was quite sick and in need of a cure.
Took me some coaxing, from fam'ly and friends.
Here's where my pain and my misery ends.
Realized my problem. I fin'ly confessed.
Sought me a counselor and got me assessed.
I was an addict as everyone knew.
Hate to admit it but had to - it's true.
Needed some treatment, my counselor agrees.
Had to get help with this deadly disease.
Now that I'm here I am happy to be.
My health and my soul are returning to me.
I'm making close friends. Friends I'll never forget.
This is a choice I will never regret.
I'm learning so much that is helping me cope.
I have a new life and I have a new hope.
My feelings are spilling all over the place.
The smile's returned to my dreary old face.
It's such a relief, to no longer be wired.
I feel so refreshed! So Alive! So inspired!
I swallowed my pride, which was all but depleted,
and got me the got the help I so desp'rately needed.
