Do you even know how hard it was for me? To put away the liquor and pipes For the love of Christ I can't even begin to tell you how awful it was before you. I can't even begin to tell you how many nights I stumbled home. How many mornings I woke up asking what happened the night before. How many nights my roommate asked how ****** up I was as I laughed and told her how badly I wanted cookies.
Now I'm not saying **** ****** me up that bad But I may have taken the things that numb me a little too far: Drinking till I can't remember, Smoking until my frowns are smiles, Puffing on cigarettes until I cough up a lung. What doesn't **** me makes me stronger, right?
I couldn't continue my preaching higher than cloud nine or drunker than a man with nothing left to lose. But for some unknown reason you gave me the courage to quit the liquor. And Im glad you stopped me, otherwise the next year was gonna be brutal because AA is for quitters and momma never raised a quitter.
I may not have alcohol. I may not have Mary Jane But I do have you. So you wanna go smoke a joe?
