Aa

AA I know what you’re thinking I ought to stop drinking But with finances shrinking I don’t know where to turn Stock and bonds and mutual fund All are on a downward run And so the drinking has begun I don’t know where to turn No payments made so they’re repossessing All my things – my life’s so stressing Drinking is my only blessing I don’t know where to turn But then I was invited in To where the healing can begin I found a means unto the end Now I know where to turn No one judging, no one scolding Open talking – no withholding A new direction they are molding This is the place to turn It doesn’t solve financial woes That’s not the way the program goes Encouragement’s what they propose There’s a better way to turn So don’t try to solve this on your own You need some help, you’ve always known And AA works – results have shown Here is the place to turn So come on in, sit down a spell You’ve got a story I can tell This is the place where you’ll get well Start with this when it’s your turn Hi. My name is __________________ And I am an alcoholic I meant to post this on teh 10th but it slipped by. While I have never used the service of the AA, I know of some who have and some more that should have. Bob Smith founded AA and June 10th, 1935 (Dr. Bob Smith’s sobriety date) is considered the birthday of Alcoholics Anonymous.
