Drinking was no fun for me
I just wanted to die
Alcohol didn't work anymore
I thought I was too smart
Everybody was on my case
All of a sudden, everything got crazy
The easier, softer way
Never alone again
A.A. made the difference
We know how you feel
We're all in this together
People just like me
The door is always open
I could feel the happiness
I know where I'm going
A richer life to live
