One Day @ A time....
Welcome to my Recovery site, my name is Nicole and I am an Addict and an Alcoholic. My hopes creating this site is to spread the word of hope to all women, there is a beautiful life out here, love and peace can be found within yourself, allow me to share my Experience...Strength...and Hope Alcohol's Promises
I have some promises I'll make to you
I promise to take your money, your home
I'll take your watch, I'll take your chain
I'll bring you misery, I'll bring you woe
I'll take from you the days, I'll take from you the years
I'll take your heart, give you one of stone
I'll cause you to dishonor your mother and dad
I'll turn your love for your friends to hate
Your road to despair for you I'll pave
I'll cause you to murder your very best friend
I'll bring you contention, I'll bring you strife
1.We are going to know a new freedom and a new
happiness.
12 Steps
And thanks to this simple program, today I am also recovering.
If you will do what I want you to do.
The more that you consume of me
The more your losses will surely be.
Here are the promises to you I make
And I promise the promises never to break.
And all you can get in the way of a loan.
I'll take your character, your reputation too
Your good name, I'll take from you.
Your friends I'll take from you one day
Your family from you I'll turn away.
I'll take your car, I'll take your wealth
I'll take your job, I'll take your health.
I'll cause you to stay out in the rain
.
I'll take your credit, I'll take your bail
I'll cause to sleep in a dirty jail.
I'll cause you regret, remorse and pain
I'll cause your name to go down in shame.
I'll bring you trouble more than you know.
I'll take your clothes and pawn them too
The necessities of Life, I'll take from you.
I'll double the flow of your bitter tears.
I'll cause you to walk through life alone.
I'll take away your desires to live right
Your light of day, I'll turn to night.
I'll take away all the pleasure you could have had.
Your desire to repent will come too late.
I'll cause you to fill a premature grave.
I'll put you in an institution for the insane
Your normal thinking will go down the drain.
I'll trouble your mind to the very end.
I'll finish with you by taking your life........

Recovery is not for people who need it, it's for people who want it
An Addict who commits suicide is killing the wrong person.
Tomorrow's a fantasy and yesterday's gone...there's only today
If you don't want what we have, we will gladly refund your misery
Relapse starts long before the first drink
Don't give up before the miracle happens
