PJ fans in 12 step Recovery

locked

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.

This is a choice you just can't think about."You Do It!"

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

You're only as good as the company you keep.
And if that company want's to lead you astray,Fuck'em.
That say's a lot your character Chadwick. Stay Strong,
You know you're not alone. You have your Family here.
Some of us may be sicker than others, But we share the love.

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. :(
