I was just listening to some music and randomly clicked on a a song and heres what came up,
Kenny Chesney - Simple Things
No I ain't had nothing to drink I knew thats probably what you'd think If I dropped by this time of night Remember way back when I promised you I'd drop in At one of those meetings down at the Y
Well, they started talkin bout steps you take Mistakes you make The hearts you break And the price you pay I almost walked away
You could hear a pin drop When this old man Stood up and said I'm gonna' say it again Like I do every week For those who don't know me
It's the simple things in life Like the kids at home and a loving wife That you miss the most, when you lose control And everything you love starts to disappear The devil takes your hand and says no fear Have another shot, just one more beer Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here
This ole boy stood up in the aisle Said he'd been living a life of denial And he cried as he talked about wasted years I couldn't believe what I heard It was my life word for word And all of the sudden it was clear
It's the simple things in life Like the kids at home and a loving wife That you miss the most, when you lose control And everything you love starts to disappear The devil takes your hand and says no fear Have another shot, just one more beer Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here
I know for us it may be too late But it would mean the world to me If you were there when I stand to say It's the simple things in life Like the kids at home and a loving wife That you miss the most, when you lose control And everything you love starts to disappear The devil takes your hand and says no fear Have another shot, just one more beer Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here Oh, I've been there, that's why I'm here
YOu know my life has been so out of control for so long, my life has been in the hands of the devil all these years , that I have no wife, I have no kids I drifted along lost for so longI couldn't keep anything together all I had was drugs and alcohol , thats all I counted on.
And i tried over and over and over again and just couldn't get IT.
Then I made things simple, One day at a time, easy does it, I stopped regretting things and living in fear and i started looking foreward instead of behind me, I still do it sometimes but I grab myself and pull my haed back around and face whats in front of me, life today.
The simple things, it means the world to me you all being here , giving me support this is saving me, giving me strength not to go back to the life I had.
Today and forward like you say Vini is liberation. I used to carry around too much. I don't have to do that anymore. A miracle is happening in my life today and it is thanks to God and NA/AA.
