Journey To Soberness

I'm controlled by a liquid substance called alcohol
Throughout my life this addiction has been my downfall
Missing out on quality time with my family so I can go drink instead
Waking up plenty of mornings thanking God for being alive and not dead
Alcohol has always managed to steer my life in negative directions
I have a feeling if I don’t quit, I'm Gona end up an inmate of dept of Texas corrections
I really need my higher power I'm admitting defeat 
Because on my own battling my addiction is something I can't beat 
So, from this day I begin the journey with my lord above
And from the bottom of my heart, I thank him for the unconditional love
