69 days
Walked to the store the other day For a energy drink and some frito lays Wondering around the quiet store already got all I need but still thinking I need more. From around the aisle I hear a familiar voice One that reminds of the past and a recent choice. It's my old plug saying hello to me, I just nod amd smile I just wanted to flee. He says hey ive got some fire for you to try Just a bit of this and you'll be flying so high you can touch the sky But im 68 days clean and even sober too its something I said I'd no longer do Thats not the life for me any more im staying clean this time and felt my spirit soar A simple reply " im good im clean" He huffs back what do you mean As if its some big surprise as if im telling him a bunch of lies. I simply smile and walk away because im making sure tomorrow will my 69th day. (verse. 2) Driving home from work one night, Stopped to get gas and someone caught my sight. An old drinking buddy with a chick on his arm, spots me and says let's go have drink or two whats the harm no harm? . but his words set off an alarm I could almost taste it on my lips but then I remembered why I quit. My job my home and my family And those things are way more important to me And if i let myself trip and fall I could lose everything lose it all I GET my one year chip in just 2 days, I refuse to slip up and throw it all away.. not today (verse 3) Picnic at the park with a new friend Telling them my story about how it all begin I had a partner in crime this real bad guy when we got together I was always teetering on the line of live or die We used to party every night and day Until one friday I came home and on the bathroom floor he layed. No heart beat blue in the face Called 911 cops all up in my place It was a chaotic scene that scared me straight.. I knew I didn't want to have the same fate. Now im 120 days clean . It feels amazing ,finally pursuing my dreams. I crawled out of the darkness and back into life. No more struggle no more strife If any of these stories ring true to you Keep in mind your the captain of everything you do. You have a support group you have a strong crew. to help on the hard days to get you threw Dont wait until its ordered by the court and please dont wait until its a last resort. You can be strong you can stand tall. You can walk away from it all. Your stronger than you might think. Keep your head above water dont give into the darkeness and disarray that makes you sink because you can win the battle 101 ways And you'll tell your own clean and sober story some day. today can be your first day. we are well the first 24 hours can be so rough, all the stress comes falling down on your shoulders you say ive had enough, I just need a little taste to keep me tough. But stop think, think about your crew we're here for you to help you be strong and make it threw whatever life throws at you. Don't forget you haven't just made new friends . you have a new family . one that wants to see you live and purse you dreams whatever they may be.
