I thank God I didn't kill anyone while
driving drunk going up the interstate
that wrong way, racing, just because
I felt cocky, invensible, better or bigger
than Thou.
No, I never got a DWI during my drinking
career, but I did want to get off the merry
go round of insanity of trying to stop drinking
on my own and couldn't.
Thank God I didn't KILL someone and
spending life in prison or living with the
thought I took a life, an innocent person
from their family because of my stupidity,
arrogance.
To live with that kind of guilt and drinking
would surely be my own slow suicide.
Im not cocky today knowing I drank
many times and didn't get a DWI. Learning
to live with graditude, recovery, Faith,
keeps me grounded and in my place.
