Recovery

People said I can't change, that I got a gypsie soul,
But I'm 8 days away from 6 months sober, I'm on a roll.
I'm not the same person that I once was,
I no longer chase after one more buzz.
I no longer have the overpowering urge to drink,
Today I'm finally able to clearly think.
I go to AA meetings and I don't care if you judge,
But I wont get drunk today because I hold a grudge.
I gave up all my old friends, not to be mean,
I did it so I'd stay clean and serene.
Not long ago I was on the edge, my "brink",
I couldn't believe I was controlled by a drink.
I just wanted my life to be over,
Now I'm happy to be alive, and sober.
This way of life was my greatest discovery,
I give 100 percent to my life of recovery.
