Darkness

Everybody's got a dark side and alcohol makes it even darker.

Bottom

A moment so terrifying that I opened my eyes and saw what it was that I had been doing to myself longer than I could even remember.

How hard

The longer you wait the harder it becomes and nothing is harder than dying a drunk.

A place I cannot fully desribe

And at my worst moment I pleaded with God to remove the desire to drink!  And so it was that I was taken to a place on the inside that I never knew existed.  A place where alcohol, addiction and hopelessness could not exist.  A place of peace, reason, strength and contentment.  A place where I am moved to tears of joy.  I have remained here for the past seventeen years and I hope to remain here the rest of my life.

What looms

If your craving a drink, a big drunk cannot be far behind.  Everything after that is just plain misery.

Nobody wins

I abused the bottle and in return it abused me.

The truth

Alcohol takes us away from the truth and introduces us to nothing but lies.
