From a reader...
Alcohol Always Lied
to Me
I’m not sure how many people will read this, but it is worth offering
to anyone interested... especially those who might still be suffering
from too much “New Year’s Eve” celebrating...
I Drank for Courage... and woke up night after night horrified.
I Drank for Sophistication... and became crude.
I
Drank to find Peace... and ignited a war within
myself.
I Drank to be Friendly... and became argumentative and nasty.
I
Drank to be Sexy... and turned people
off.
I Drank so that I could Relate to Others... and I babbled.
I
Drank to put down Loneliness... and found myself retreating more and
more into my
shell.
I Drank to Relax... and woke up tense.
I Drank
to be Entertaining... and became an obnoxious
clown.
I Drank to Live More Fully... and contemplated suicide.
I
Drank for Adventure... and discovered
disaster.
I Drank to be more Honest... and insulted my friends.
I
Drank to Quiet my Nerves... and woke up with hangover
jangles.
I Drank to Feel Better... and ended up sick and
throwing
up.
I Drank to have Fun... and passed out in the middle
of the
party.
I Drank to Pep Myself Up... and ended up exhausted.
I
Drank to feel Successful... a Big Shot... but ended up a
failure.
I Drank for Security... and became afraid of my shadow.
I
Drank to Feel Better about Myself... and ended up hating
me.
I Drank to prove I could handle Alcohol... and ended up knowing it
controlled me.
A Friend asked... “But surely, now that you’ve been Sober awhile, it
would take a lot of alcohol to put you back in that condition.”
“Just One Drink” I answered!
The reader’s comment? “So VERY, VERY true!!!”
