wake up and live now

There's no doubt I was fucking up. No one should ever drink like I was drinking. Couldn't go a minute without a thought of the drink. Of having a drink. Liquid numbness. Over the counter, no prescription needed other than that insatiable thirst, need. It was definitely I'm cryin' in my beer sort of situation.

Pandora is again playing in my ear, right now it's Bob Marley Wake up and Live.

Life is one big road with lots of signs,
So when you riding through the ruts, don't you complicate your mind:
Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy!
Don't bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality, yeah!



And continue to change everyday. That's what life is. Roll with the punches. Go with the flow. There's only so much you can control. Not drinking is just another thing I can control. The idea of today to an alcoholic means much more than "what are you doing today?" or "today I have to do this." First and foremost today is another day that we are alive and free from the bondage of alcohol. Constantly grateful and very aware of what living life means. Today.

Today is the day. Everyday is the day.
