It didn't do me any good to daydream or
fantasize, romance about all those pretty
bottles, cans filled with poison. In time
I learn how to imagine what they really
look like.....skull and cross bones across
the front with the word poison written
across the front of them.
Then that Serenity Prayer I memorized
right off the bat to relieve my anxiety
or temptation over them.
I still carry those recovery tools with
me to each store I attend where alcohol
is present.
