Twas the night before Christmas This might or might not have been posted before on here but, they say the hearing goes first and I can't recall what we lose next ;) 'Twas the night before Christmas, we were all in the club, Enjoying a meeting, instead of a pub, The ashtrays were clean, and the coffee was made, The Big Books were out and we all had prayed. When out in the lot, there arose such a clatter, We all jumped up to see what was the matter. The Chair with his Big Book, and I with my smokes, Headed outside to find these two blokes. They came inside and sat at a table; And said that they'd chair, as soon as they're able. To start with, they said, "It's more than not drinking; It's doing your best to fix your sick thinking." "Think, Think, Think!" and the slogans we used, Help keep the newcomer from getting confused. Step 1 is a start, they said we should know, But after Step 2, we'll be all aglow. We make a decision when we got to Step 3; Step 4 was real tough, we all could agree, Step 5 is the one where we let it all out, And after Step 6 and 7, we are left with no doubt. When we got to Step 8, we made our list; And then with Step 9, we have to persist. After Step 9, the promises ring true; We didn't just make that up, right out of the blue. After that, it's on with the rest; The things we must do, to be our best. They put on their coats and got ready to leave; A pretty good end, for this Christmas Eve. As to their names, we only could guess; Must have been Bill W. and Dr. Bob S. The two men hopped into a '35 Ford, And as they pulled out, one of them roared: "We leave this message, for our sisters &brothers: trust God, clean house, and be of service to others. And for all of you people, I just want to say: have a nice holiday, but don't drink today!" Unknown Merry Christmas!! Today I know that the light at the end of the tunnel is an old-timer walking ahead of me with a lantern |
