I drank


I drank for Happiness and became unhappy


I drank for Joy and became miserable


I drank for Sociability and became argurmentative


I drank for Sophistication and became obnoxious


I drank for Frienship and made enimies


I drank for Sleep and awakened without rest


I drank for Strenght and felt weak


I drank for Medicinal and aquired health problems


I drank for Relaxation and got the shakes


I drank for Bravery and became affraid


I drank for Confidence and became doubltful


I drank for Conversation and slurred my words


I drank for that Heavenly Feeling and ended up feeling like hell


I drank to Forget and was forever haughted


I drank to Erase the problems and saw them multiply


I drank to Cope with lifes and invited death


I drank for Freedom and became a slave to alcohol

Kathy,

I just wanted to say thanks for the post!!! You helped to remind me that he has a side in this too-- and that he's probably hurting although it's easier for me to blame and say he's the bad guy... I forget he's got feelings...

I don't know exactly what he's going through, I drank for all the wrong reasons but was fortunate that I loved my kids more than what I was doing...

Trying trying and trying some more

(((hugs))))
