0 Addicts - A Poem
by jayson cole

      10 Addicts, all in a line,
      One got to thinking---
      Then there were Nine.

      9 Addicts, one said, "Wait!"
      "A near beer can't hurt!"---
      Then there were eight.

      8 Addicts, lookin' up to heaven.
      One cut out meetings---
      Then there were seven.

      7 Addicts, doing service for kicks.
      One started grumbling---
      Then there were six.

      6 Addicts, glad to be alive.
      'til one smoked pot---
      Then there were five.

      5 Addicts, greeters at the door
      One played the Big Shot---
      Then there were four.

      4 Addicts, for fun and for free.
      One's case was "different"---
      Then there were three.

      3 Addicts, knowing what to do.
      One rewrote the Big Book---
      Then there were two.

      2 Addicts, having some fun.
      One started lying(or never stopped)---
      Then there was one.

      1 Addict, talking to HP
      "If only one is clean ---
      I'm glad that it's me!"
102 days clean and glad that i can say that ......................
