Its straight forward to me....
I had a hole in me that the wind blew straight through......never happy and feeling like a square peg in a round hole....
One day along came booze and lite up all the light bulbs in my head......at last i finally feel i fit.....the perfect solution to an unexplainable feeling at odds with the world......
so booze wasnt the problem.....i was the problem.......booze was a solution..if you get me.
So take the booze away and i return to that unexplainable...feeling at odds all the time.
along comes an old guy and a book.......talks of a solution to fill that hole......and this one is a permanent one.....with only good consequences.
so the hole gets filled and i recover.
i finally fit without having to round the edges of the world off.
grateful alcoholic....ooohhhh yeah....because it led me to a solution that filled the hole instead of booze.....a loving god.
just me i guess........but its why im grateful......it just so happens im an alcoholic.
