Let’s think about that fact
It really is about what we do
Not what we say we’ll do
It’s about how we actually act
So we can post on here
Our trials, victories and our tears
There’s always a friendly voice
And a helpful point of view
But the real work is up to you
No matter how much we need,
read, and do our best to heed advice
The only way to kick the vice
That alcohol presents
Is to just not to drink it
For a long time
Perhaps ever again
Whatever you decide
Is right for you my friend
Isn’t it all about having less regrets
and less stress?
Aren’t we worth this?
We are and that’s a fact!
The trouble is
If we just pay lip service
The regrets and the stress
would probably increase
Rather than stay the same
As would the pain, the fear
and the shame
Eventually
There’d be hardly any peace
Or genuine release
So for me
I’m going to say I’m worth this
And choose not to just pay lip service
I’d rather continue to fight
and keep trying
Than give in
And end up crying
