Happy, Joyous and Free – For Me?

 

Imagine Happy, Joyous and Free
Before AA, impossible for me

Imagine if I could find a place
Maybe help me stop my race
To my death in disgrace

Imagine a place to surrender
Never been there, but willing to go
Must go now or I will surely die.
What will I find? A place of Love or Shame?

Imagine alcoholics looking at me
Hatred or Pity I do not see.
I do see Love and Help coming to me

Imagine Why me?
I am only a drunk. Alcoholic some say.
Nothing special, but I heard them shout
“A most important newcomer is here today”
Can’t imagine that could be me.

Imagine people all around me
For sure, we would never meet
Especially someone like me.

Imagine asked.
“Come a little closer. Tell your story” So I did.
Imagine a fellowship sprouting around me

Imagine men and women accepting me
They are me and I am them
We are all different, but the same you agree?
Alcoholics one and all. Brothers and Sisters in A A.

Imagine my life. Can it be Happy and Free?
The Promises claim I will be.
Must follow The Path laid out for me.
Suggestions offered, my choice to follow
Work for the Promises and be Happy and Free?
Yes “work”, there is no easier, softer way.

Imagine something special happened to me.
Imagine an awaking of spiritual sorts.
I am not the same person who will drink again.
Not so easy to believe, but that’s what happened to me

Imagine I am one with the others and they with me
Imagine that only the A A Solution has set me free.
Imagine being grateful to be an alcoholic.
Imagine now I can live Happy, Joyous and Free
