Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Good-Bye
(Ode to Alcohol)
The queasy feeling in my stomach
The pounding in my head
The only thoughts in my mind
Were wishing I was dead
My forehead covered in cold sweats
Body shakes beyond control
The endless aching my bones
As you consumed my very soul
The minutes turned into hours
The hours turned into days
suddenly, every moment that I ever lived
Was just a smoke filled haze
As I watched my body waste away
And my life slowly coming to an end
I realized. That I was wrong
You're the devil & not my friend
So, I'm taking back what's left of my life
Not one more second will you dominate
I'll bet the strength that lives in me
You didn't anticipate
Cast you spell on someone else
Find another unsuspecting prey
I came to live, NOT to die
And my life begins TODAY...

I'm always aware of the first six lines of this section, but the last two ... the little voice in my head keeps telling me "this time will be different, you can drink in moderation, you can stop right before you lose control and still get a good buzz..." even though that's never ended up being true.
