Drinker
In another life
I acted out when I imbibed
Though the act was self-defeating
No matter the booze I was drinking
For a remedy I sought
In a big book that I bought
And I found the greatest help
With my struggle with myself
And happily I have found
I am the talk of the town
With the rumor that I now
Believe in a higher power somehow
And my heart is new
Since I gave up the booze
With my wrongs duly righted
With amends to those I slighted
Now sober I am better
And live my life free and unfettered
With no liquor that I want
Or other drug to rule and haunt
