From An Anonymous Author....

I drank for joy and became miserable.

I drank to be outgoing and became self centered.

I drank to be sociable and became lonely.

I drank for friendship and made enemies.

I drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity.

I drank for sleep and awakened without rest.

I drank for strength and felt weak.

I drank for relaxation and got the shakes.

I drank for confidence and felt unsure

I drank for courage and became afraid

I drank for assurance and became doubtful

I drank to forget thoughts and had blackouts

I drank for conversation and tied my tongue

I drank to be in heaven and I came to know hell

I drank to forget and became haunted

I drank for freedom and became a slave (of alcohol)

I drank to ease problems and saw them multiply

I drank to cope with life and invited death.

I drank because I had the "right" to and everything turned out wrong.

Said this fellow, "It must have taken a bunch of booze to get you in this shape?

I said, "Just one. For me one is too many and a thousand isn't enough."

Well there it is - The ABSOLUTE truth about alcohol.

Thank's Brightlite. This is a great piece. I've read it before. This should be in the 'Toolbox' if it isn't already.

Merry christmas, and have a great, safe 2011. G-bloke.

Bright - I love this! I hadn't seen it before and it's a keeper, as G-ster suggests why not stick it in the toolbox and it will be easy for others to find.

Thanks Brightlite. This is definitely a keeper. I will include in my readings on New Year's Day to remind myself why I will remain AF throughout 2011.

Brightlite, what an excellent piece to keep and inspire.
Dixon, I have saved it by clicking on Page on the tab above and clicking the "Save" option. That way it is saved on your computer and you can reference it any time you like. Alternatively, you can print it out and have a copy in your bedroom, on your fridge, on the back of the toilet door etc.
