Can It Be True
can it be true
that I’m not like you
I lost the power to say
“I’ve had enough”
and be able to walk away
a couple of beers
may be enough for you
but a couple of cases for me
just won’t do…
fantasizing about my next beer
just can’t quit
a compulsion that brings fear
will I scream and hit
then apologize…
“I’m sorry, my dear.”
why can’t I love you…
and my booze
history has shown
with choices… you’d lose
maybe it is true
a life without alcohol
will keep me with you
but I’m still not sure what to do
you see… I’ve known alcohol
a lot longer then I’ve known you

I hear the struggle in this...

I have always considered myself lucky that I do not have an addictive personality and that I have never liked the taste of alcohol. Even having grown up in "the 60's" I got bored with anything after a few times of dabbling in it. The 12 steps have helped many and I know that if not for AA, many of my friends would no longer be alive. Very good write!!
