Poem-I am alcohol

I like to constanly remind myself of the evils of alcohol.
I read this early in my quit, so sad, it motivated me to sobriety and I sometimes re read it when I feel down.
I hope it motivates you.

I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world;

I have destroyed more men than all the wars of the all the nations;

I have caused millions of accidents and wrecked more homes than all the floods, tornadoes and hurricanes put together;

I am the worlds' slickest thief.

I steal billions of dollars each year;

I find my victims among the rich and poor alike,

I am relentless, insidious, unpredictable;

I bring sickness, poverty and death;

I give nothing and take all;

I am your worst enemy;

I am alcohol.


RIP Raheem Bath.

Worthy of a bump.
Never forget, alcohol gives NOTHING and takes ALL.
Peace.

Alcohol gives nothing.
Alcohol takes all.
