When you first come in it is dark and cold....once you blend in that stuff gets old
Being in detox it's not an easy way ....but it is far better than a prison stay
I just walk the line and keep to myself... but I am not a closed book to be put on a shelf
As I hear the stories of the people here....it gets in my head and I feel their fear
So I am going  forward and not looking back ... Straight and narrow to finally get my good life back.

As the sun shines upon my face .....there is a new day coming which I say it with grace
The clean living is what I need to live ...and with that I will help others out with all I can give
If there is a higher power he will be my guide....he watch over me so I don't slide

The days were long ...the nights were cold....drinking so much that I am looking old
My time is slipping away..... finally realized I am not ok
My body is slowly fading and there is only one thing I must do ......quit drinking or I am through
I will grab the angels wings ....and see what the future brings
I know I can do it .... break the chain....and I will not complain
Stay away from the demon....he will ruin you......he tried that on me too

The road may be long ......I must be strong
The sun will lead the way......I will feel better everyday
Staying sober is everyday job ..your life do not let the demon rob
Stay on course......and soon you will see.....once you are sober your soul will be free

Today when I woke up I thought it was a dream ....as I looked around and realized it was not I started to scream
In a single moment my life was turned upside down. ..a place I have never been people I had never seen
It all came clear ....and I  had built up fear
As time went by I learned a lesson I will never forget ....picking up the bottle was my biggest regret

Sober living is what I needed and this is what I need......and it is so effing I will not concead
I must take the hand of God and let him guide me .......so I can just be free
