Hello Folks Hello folks, I just joined the forum. The time has come for me to quit drinking and this forum seems like a great place to get some advice and support. I chose my username from a song called "Ball And Chain" by a rock band called Social Distortion. The song is about alcohol ruining the singer's life, his "ball and chain". Seems appropriate. (Plus I like The Lord of The Rings hence Balin the dwarf.) Anyway, thanks for having me, stay strong! |

Welcome! Love that song..... here are the lyrics: Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears And look at the mess I'm in A broken nose and a broken heart, An empty bottle of gin Well I sit and I pray In my broken down Chevrolet While I'm singin' to myself There's got to be another way [Chorus:] Take away, take away Take away this ball and chain Well I'm lonely and I'm tired And I can't take any more pain Take away, take away Never to return again Take away, take away Take away Take away this ball and chain Well I've searched and I've searched To find the perfect life A brand new car and a brand new suit I even got me a little wife But wherever I have gone I was sure to find myself there You can run all your life But not go anywhere [Chorus:] Take away, take away Take away this ball and chain Well I'm sick and I'm tired And I can't take any more pain Take away, take away Never to return again Take away, take away Take away Take away this ball and chain Well I'll pass the bar on the way To my dingy hotel room I spent all my money I've been drinkin' since half past noon Well I'll wake there in the mornin' Or maybe in the county jail Times are hard getting harder I'm born to lose and destined to fail [Chorus:] Take away, take away Take away this ball and chain Well I'm lonely and I'm tired And I can't take any more pain Take away, take away Never to return again Take away, take away Take away Take away this ball and chain |

Welcome Balin :) I figured out eventually it wasn't a reference to Janis Joplin's song or Marty Balin from the Jefferson Airplane :240: You'll find a ton of support here - good to have you join us :) D |
