Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain.
This was what I thought alcohol would do for me in the beginning. My troubles and pain were too much for me, so I happily employed the services of alcohol. In so doing, it was like pouring gasoline over an open flame. My life was out of control!
Putting down that bottle long enough to get into recovery and develop coping skills was finally, how I managed, to wash away all of that trouble and pain!
