AA meetings aren’t for people who need them, they’re for people who want them

1 Comment on AA meetings aren’t for people who need them, they’re for people who want them

he showed up drunk

at 59 years old

to pick me up

from the hospital

with another gallon

of wild turkey tossed in the back seat

he had bought

along with

fetid red Marlboros

on the five mile way

at that moment

i was no longer certain

who had run out of excuses

him

or me

i have much more

to lose

than two units

of blood

No Comments on moment of clarity, by god

perhaps i should preface this

by saying this is not a sobriety poem

i didn’t decide to stop drinking

because i hit rock bottom

i decided to quit drinking

because i am headed for the top

i’ve never woken up beneath an

underpass raped with no memory

or panties

never had a dui from a Christmas party

gone wild

my liver isn’t about to change its name

to Larry Hagman

i decided to quit drinking

to break the family curse

to honor my father and friends

i am attending AA meetings

to model good behavior

for my children
