i HATE MEETINGS, HATE YOUR HIGHER POWER, ANYONE WHO HAS A PROGRAM. TO ALL WHO COME IN CONTACT WITH ME. I WISH YOU SUFFERING AND DEATH.

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF, I AM THE DISEASE OF ALCOHOLISM. BAFFLING AND POWERFUL. THATS ME! I'VE KILLED MILLIONS AND ENJOYED DOING IT. I LOVE TO CATCH YOU BY SURPRISE TO PRETENDING I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND AND LOVER. I'VE GIVEN YOU COMFORT, WASN'T I THERE WHEN YOU WERE LONELY? WHEN YOU WANTED TO DIE, DIDN'T YOU CALL ON ME?

I LOVE TO TO MAKE YOU HURT, TO MAKE YOU CRY, BETTER YET LOVE IT WHEN I MAKE YOU SO NUMB YOU CAN'T HURT. CRY OR FEEL NOTHING AT ALL.

I GIVE YOU INSTANT GRATIFICATION ALL I ASK IN RETURN IS LONG-TERM SUFFERING.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR YOU WHEN THINGS WERE GOING RIGHT, YOU INVITED ME BACK WHEN YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE HAPPY AND I AGREED WITH YOU. TOGETHER WE WERE ABLE TO DESTROY YOUR LIFE.

PEOPLE DON'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY, THEY TAKE STROKES, HEART ATTACKS AND ANY OTHER DISEASE'S SERIOUSLY YET WITHOUT MY HELP THESE THINGS WOULD BE LESS POSSIBLE.

I'M SUCH A HATED DISEASE YET I DON'T COME UNINVITED YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE ME, MANY HAVE CHOSEN ME INSTEAD OF LOVE AND PEACE OF MIND.

I HATE ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE A 12 STEP PROGRAM, MEETINGS AND YOUR HIGHER POWER WEAKENS ME. I CAN FUNCTION IN THE MATTER IN WHICH I AM ACCUSTOMED.

I'M YOUR DISEASE FOR NOW I MAY HAVE TO LIE HERE QUIETLY, YOU DON'T SEE ME BUT I'M GROWING MORE POWERFUL EVERYDAY WHEN YOU SETTLE FOR MERE EXISTENCE. I THRIVE WHEN YOU FEEL FULLY ALIVE, I WEAKEN BUT I'M ALWAYS HERE WAITING FOR YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.

can anyone relate??
