My Days As A Drinker













~Eagle Sigs~

"To all those who wish to quit"


I use to drink just enough to get drunk,


I actually thought the taste really stunk.


I was braver and bolder if I had a couple of beers,


Facing problems was easier,it seemed to drown my fears.

 
I would be happy go lucky as long as things went my way,


People learned to watch what they would do and say.


I couldn't even remember driving home some nights,


That was when my husband and I had some knock out fights.


When I think back now, I realize how foolish I was to
drive at all,


Especially...when I remember all those times I broke
the law!


It has been a lot of years since I took my last drink,


I realized I was in trouble,it made me stop and think.


I want to thank my family and friends for seeing me through,


I especially want to thank God for letting me start my life
anew.
