Untimely death

I have personally known several people who have died from out of control drinking but, I have never known anyone who died from sobriety.

It's 2am

It's 2am and I can't find my next drink. I am burning with fear and my mind is racing. Racing to a place were fear, lack, homelessness and even suicide exist. I need a drink to quiet my thoughts. I need to dry out to find out again who it is I really am.

Interference

He stands in my way when I reach out to others. My philosophy is to give to you what was given to me.

Christmas

All I want for Christmas is for you to be sober.

Darkness

One day alcohol turned off the lights and I was completely in the dark. All I could see was years of failure. That is when I sensed that death was near. And yet I still craved a drink. The insanity of my drinking owned me!

Remorse

Remorse is all that remained the day after I would surrender to the bottle. Remorse is what nearly killed me. The bottle beat me up and remorse was its weapon of choice.

Faith

Faith without sobriety is a constant battle of hopelessness and remorse.
