It’s Time
Eight and a half months without a drop of alcohol in my system
I feel really great in myself, it’s neither a target nor a challenge
It’s not a bet between others not even a toss of a coin or roll of a dice
I can sit down, maybe sit back knowing today and every other day that goes by
I don’t have to put the poison up towards my lips
After twenty three years of my addiction to alcohol I seriously hope and pray
That I’ll never pick up, even if it comes to a really down, painful day
I think im getting close to seeing the end of a long, long path
In and out of deep thoughts that fly through my head
I’m sure now it’s time to break through, to start my new life, my journey.
