Powerless without my stinking
thinking Sick and tired of being sick
and tired God wants me to stop
drinking Concretely and abstractly
My Father Mother God loves me
I align my will with God’s—I am
free I am creative, spiritually toiled
I’m an individual—a moral savage In
the flow of all that’s good in the
world One with the power of the universe
and no longer ravaged
Powerless but feeling more
powerful Sick and tired of ugly hang
overs In sobriety, I’m a peaceful gal
There’s nothing to question
anymore God wants me to be a
sober female
Liver disease and penniless insanity
Await me If I take another drink I will
die—demoralized and pitied
Everything gone down the sink From
a woman who’s no longer pretty
Yellow eyes, inflated belly, yet boney
Paranoid—nothing makes sense
Carelessly spending money
Staggering, reckless and
feckless Honestly—no good to
anyone
I’m powerless yet more powerful
Free to live and love my loved
ones No debt to that resentful
creditor Alcohol has no power over
some Today I live in gratitude and
rapture
I don’t need alcohol—it’s too
wild. Can’t have it. Allergic!
Nothing left to solve
Grateful for sobriety
and my sponsor, Leigh
For we are girls gone mild
