Grateful Alcoholic

​I have been given a chance in life
I have decided to take charge, but it wasn’t easy
I have done my share many times, and I have only been in the room over the year,
I was shit scare and simply lived off my nerves. Now that’s what I call fear. 

I am grateful. But only for today
That sounds I can’t be organised, yes I can, just on today’s date
That’s where I leave it to my higher power, that kind of fate. 

I thank my peers, far and wide, 
It’s God who is in charge, the one I want to confide. 

I don’t ask for advice
I simply pick up the phone and speak to a user,
I have damaged my internals so much, and feel like an abuser. 

I am an grateful alcoholic 
A person I was shit scared most of the time, 
I can’t start with one drink, and people I love do judge
So I politely f.ck them off, as today I am humble customer of A.A. And for that I shall not budge.
