once I drank a glass of misery turned it up drank it down I had the audacity to act surprised when misery hung around I heard misery likes company so I drank another round asked God to help me said I'd reform if He would just this one time rid me of misery next day it was gone I shouted hallelujah! felt so good went out and bought cheap California burgundy just to celebrate don't'cha know drank a bit too much that night felt it bad in the morn took a sip of the dawg whot bit me guess you can guess the rest took to the warm red wine drank up my home lost my wife children dog ran off with the cat a sad sack I was God, I pleaded help me out heah get me over this crisis won't n'er do it again God hesitated I added I'll start going to your house every Sunday you'll see me every Sunday I'll be there by that afternoon my craving was gone thought so good about it I rolled a dubie for to commemorate the day floating on that escapism cloud I liked that feeling then heard of something called speed that sounded 'bout right to me within a years' time strung out on the spike no veins left to pierce what am I gonna do Dear God in Heaven ya gotta help me I've really done it this time I'm riding the big H horse killing me what do you want me to do, God I'll do it anything please I'm begging this is what He said to me you are a fool a hypocrite a liar and a user of My Good Will I begged pleaded cried and sniveled God had mercy solved my problem like he had before made me feel so good I drank a glass of misery [This message has been edited by JerryPat (11-22-2010 06:37 AM).] |

Ain't that jus the way it goes from feelin good to remorse to feelin good. I did all those things myself and sometimes they went down real smooth.... 26.5 G disposable.....Yep, been there but thought I'd come back, there's just a few hundred people I gotta make it up to. I'm lookin forward to that. I read ya Jerry...This is good! No more 200 dollar Jones....no more! Eric |

Yep, Eric, there is a lot of us out there in this same boat. You can never make up for certain things, but you can start by forgiving yourself. Took me many, many years to figure that out although people kept telling me that I needed to do it. Finally found a way. The past is the past. Nothing you can do about it now. Thanks for being here. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Jerry, thanks for telling it like it is and keeping it real enough that those who've been touched by it can relate. ebm |

Sometimes I wonder how we mortals live as long as we do the way we treat our bodies and mind. Thank you for being here, ebm. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |
