    Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
    Oak tree you're in my way
    There's too much coke and too much smoke
    Look what's going on inside you
    Ooooh that smell
    Can't you smell that smell
    Ooooh that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you

    Angel of darkness is upon you
    Stuck a needle in your arm
    So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
    One more drink fool, will drown you
    Ooooh that smell
    Can't you smell that smell
    Ooooh that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you

    Now they call you Prince Charming
    Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
    Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
    But tomorrow might not be here for you
    Ooooh that smell
    Can't you smell that smell
    Ooooh that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you

    Hey, you're a fool you
    Stick them needles in your arm
    I know I been there before

    One little problem that confronts you
    Got a monkey on your back
    Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick
    One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
    Ooooh that smell
    Can't you smell that smell
    Ooooh that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you
    Ooooh that smell
    Can't you smell that smell
    Ooooh that smell
    The smell of death surrounds you

    been around 3 years since i drank alcohol. alcoholism runs in my family. most everyone i ever ran with has either been a drunk or a drug addict or both. since i have been done with this scene i am the loniest i have ever been & that is ok. i am growing i guess & i am also angry & ecstactic. we have abandoned one another, at least that is my view of it all. i also don't make new friends very easily.

    i really dislike this kind of overindulgence because it is so rotten, so thick, so high & so pathetically weak. weakness destroys

    alcohol/alcoholism scares me to my core.

    Good for you chadwick. Its tough. I used to drink because of feeling lonely.
    You probably could tell a lot of that from my book (obviously), and a lot of that was ugly if not for the humor.

    I've slowed my drinking considerably and I cant emphasize how much better I feel physically. Its truly a huge difference... if not for sanity, for your health, which is the most important thing these days.

    fantastic = feeling good. thank you for sharing a bit of yourself in your writing. you have talent.
    i've only ever been hurt by (hard) drug use & alcoholism. and because i can't be around alcohol & the whole good times scene, i'm a prick. because i can't drink & refuse, my old pals believe im fucked & im outcasted. i guess it works out for everyone included

    Chadwick,
    In early sobriety I thought every day not drinking would feel like holding my breath or standing on one foot...

    I can assure you that not drinking for 24 hours on a day after day basis TRANSFORMED me into a different (a more serene state.

    It takes time but I went to lots of meetings.
    TIME = Things I Must Earn
    A life a drinking can't be turned around in one day.
    It's like walking into the forest for 20 miles and expecting to walk out in one.
    But it's not all sour faces and bad coffee.

    At first meetings seemed boring and awkward but then they became a place of refuge for me.
    Like being at the bar used to be...
    In AA I FEEL ACCEPTED, SAFE, RELAXED
    Look at how many people are smiling and laughing at AA meetings.
    Ask yourself whether THEY would keep coming to meetings if something didnt click for them?
    Answer: they wouldn't..
    It works if you work it.
    It did for me... And millions of others..
    And I still rock, laugh, tailgate, love, lust and live life to its fullest.
    Does MIKE MCRCREADY or Chris Cornell looked bored and irritable?
    If you don't believe me, believe them..

    the "do it" part is the hard part. thinking about it is the easy part. unfortunatly, i've done more thinking then doing.

    i feel like on on the brink of no return. :(

    Don't hate yourself for what you feel you've become,
    Love yourself for having the courage to change. :)

  • Sweet. Today is actually my 3rd day of being sober and being in the program. I had a bit of a freak out today, haha, but I'm hoping everything will get better. Im ok now. I've been listening to a bunch of PJ and not just because the new album came out. Just seems appropriate for this time in my life I guess. Specifically I Got ID. Something about that song, man, haha.
    Walking is still honest

    early on can be a bit rough. In part because we didnt get good restorative sleep all that much, diet shot to shit, and we go through the initial detox. On top of that we now have to cope with life without our "medicine" .

    Get some #'s from people at the meetings. Switch up which ones you go to to see where you feel most comfortable. And we are here too. Feel free to PM if you want to.

    WELCOME!!!!!
