Alcohols Disasterous Promises To the Alcoholic

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALCOHOL'S DISASTROUS PROMISES

I have some promises I'll make to you, If you will do what I want you to. The more that you consume of me, The more then will your losses be. Here are the promises to you I make, And I promise the promises never to break.

I promise to take your money, your home And all you can get in the way of a loan. I'll take your character, your reputation to. Your good name, I'll take from you

Your friends I'll take from you one day Your family from you I'll turn away I'll take your car, I'll take your wealth I'll take your job, I'll take your health

I'll take your watch, I'll take your chain,
I'll cause you to stay out in the rain. I'll take your credit, I'll take your bail, I'll cause you to sleep in a dirty jail.

I'll cause your name to go down in shame. I'll bring you misery, I'll bring you woe, I'll bring you trouble more than you know. I'll take your clothes and pawn then too, The necessities of life, I'll take from you. I'll take from you days, I'll take from you years, I'll double the flow of your bitter tears. I'll take your heart, give you one of stone, I'll cause you to walk through life alone.

I'll take away your desire to live a right life, Your light of day I'll turn to night .I'll cause you to dishonor your mother and dad, I'll take all the pleasure you could have had. I'll turn your love for your friends to hate, Your desire to repent will come too late.

Your road to despair for you I'll pave, I'll cause you to fill a premature grave. I'll put you in an institution for the insane, Your normal thinking will go down the drain.

I'll cause you to murder your best friend, I'll trouble your mind to the very end. I'll bring you contention, I'll bring you strife, and I'll finish with you by taking your life.

That is so powerful. I just have to send up a prayer for my xah, that he finds recovery.

I'll take your heart, give you one of stone

I'll turn your love for your friends to hate

These are so true...

May your xah find a healthier way to live, Thumper.

So sad, and so true. These things all of us here on Family and Friends have witnessed and lived through so many with them. The promising life ruined by addiction. As Codie's, so much of our own lives are badly damaged as well.

A prayer that our loved ones find their way out of the alcoholism pit of death, and that we stop trying to accompany them. And that we find healing and health, and all the happiness that go with them.
