Getting clean and sober. <br />Tired of all the beatings and the hatred of the people for the poor and homeless man <br />Working and justifying all eye am. <br />Working for a FIVE DOLLAR bill to get more beer. <br />Becoming drunkard was the plan. <br />Time will not erase all the alcoholic waste of time in meaningless meetings like AA. <br />The day the day had come to come unwound to come apart to find the help of GOD above. <br />Eye packed a bag eye took some food but not enough to survive for more than just that DAY and eye did FIVE. <br />FIVE days into the desert and eye was not alone for the SON OF GOD <br />Who sits upon the THRONE was watching me. <br />Eye did my time in the desert sun just walking without home <br />And aimlessly beginning mye new life in sobriety. <br />Eye survived mostly by pure luck and the SPIRIT of the SON <br />Who would not depart from me and eye found GOD again <br />Inside of me and even in the people around about me. <br />COLD TURKEY is a song but also an attitude and if it gets the JOB done <br />Than that is what ALL of you should DO. <br />Eye am sober TODAY because of JESUS and some time spent in agony <br />Sweating out my alcohol and getting clean and sober. <br />LISTEN unto me the LORD has heard my prayer and never will eye need another drink <br />Eye made a VOW to GOD above to drink no more alcoholic beverages until eye am with HIM in glory inside of HEAVENS door. <br />Please understand that a VOW it must be kept there is no further going back <br />COFFEE at my elbow and sodas when eye sleep <br />There is no mmore booze for homeless hobo to drink.<br /><br />Charles Hice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/getting-clean-and-sober/
