DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
When I think of all of the things I must do,
When I look at the plan that I have to see through,
I'm overwhelmed at the thought of the long road ahead.
The fact that my party is over, forever,
That I cannot use or drink booze, now or never,
Changes my feelings of hopes into feelings of dread.
Twenty-five years, I've been drugging and drinking.
Now I must function with sober, clean thinking.
Seems like a mountain whose summit is too high to climb.
Then I recall that I'm not all alone.
There's meetings to go to and sponsors to phone.
I only have to stay sober one day at a time.
And so for today, I won't drink, I won't use.
I know I dare not - I have too much to lose.
Life is too short and it's passing me by much too fast.
And so I will follow my program completely.
No way this addiction is going to defeat me.
As long as I treat every day as it might be my last.
