There is a local fellow who performs recovery music as part of his Nar-Anon 12th step. His style is folksy, he plays lead guitar and sings and is backed up by an associate on bass guitar.

One of the songs he performs is "One day more" written by Michael Purington c. 2009, Michael Purington & The Messengers: Alcoholism, quit drinking, recovery music, alcoholics, drinking problem, recovery - QuitDrinkin.com

I don't have a hangover like I did for years and years,
didn't start my morning just throwing up last night's beer.
I know where my car is, it's parked right out side my door,
and I think I'll try not drinkin' one day more.

One day more, just 24 hours,
the past 24 ain't been that bad,
one day more,
why not try stayin' sober for one day more.

There's money in my pocket,
and my dog ain't afraid of me.
I can look in the mirror without hating what I see,
I remember everything I did the night before
and I think I'll try not drinkin' one day more.

One day more, just 24 hours,
the past 24 ain't been that bad,
one day more,
why not try stayin' sober for one day more.

I wasted half a lifetime goin' out of my mind,
stumblin' round fallin' further and further down
deaf, dumb and blind
It's a real good feelin' like I'm finally bein' born
so I think I'll try not drinkin' one day more.

One day more, just 24 hours,
the past 24 ain't been that bad,
one day more,
why not try stayin' sober for one day more.
