The 11th Promise of AA says, "We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us."
No More Frustration
frustrated when things didn't go my way angry... when others wouldn't play along spiteful... when bluffs were called remember ever little grudge held resentments like prized possessions the past never baffled it was just... how much time till revenge
then... sobriety... bewilderment with shame... old rules thrown away fear replaced anger insecurity filled in for frustration hoping for change... a second chance yet... many couldn't believe it was possible a fine stew was brewing in the pity pot
I want to meetings... I listened... and shared got a sponsor... worked the steps helped others... gave rides chaired meetings... became a sponsor situations no longer baffled me because... I got active... and stayed active
The 11th Promise of AA says, "We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us."
No More Frustration
frustrated when things didn't go my way
angry... when others wouldn't play along
spiteful... when bluffs were called
remember ever little grudge
held resentments like prized possessions
the past never baffled
it was just... how much time till revenge
then... sobriety... bewilderment
with shame... old rules thrown away
fear replaced anger
insecurity filled in for frustration
hoping for change... a second chance
yet... many couldn't believe it was possible
a fine stew was brewing in the pity pot
I want to meetings...
I listened... and shared
got a sponsor... worked the steps
helped others... gave rides
chaired meetings... became a sponsor
situations no longer baffled me
because... I got active... and stayed active
