When I walked into the rooms of AA, I never quite expected it to be this way.

Don’t pick up that first drink I was told, then your life, only you can behold.

Keep coming back was another line, that kept me away from that bottle of wine.

Although sometimes I felt like crying, all of this was worth not dying.

The next thing was, get a sponsor, so I chose one, that wouldn’t take my nonsense.

After that, please work the steps, there are 12 of them to accept.

Then I heard a booming voice, from up above, there came a choice.

My life has changed now for the best, everyday has been a helpful test.

On the days that I feel really odd, I fall to my knees and I pray to God.

When I walked into this AA room, I never knew it could relieve the gloom.

Now I’m sober for almost a year, there’sa skip in my walk and a sacred tear.

Although it seemed in the early days, that I had no hope and seemed all a blaze.

Once I had hit my rock bottom, only then could I truly blossom.

I was quick to anger and all alone, now a heart full of love and a happy home.

My faith is strong and in that I trust, all of my life can now adjust.

When you all looked at me and said it will work, I believed every word and now I can smirk.

I take pride in my Big book and all of my chips, it saved my life as I came to grips.

For you I am grateful, every single one, you have helped me on a journey that is beyond the sun.

So here is my Thank you to all of you, a girl full of hope and a dream come true.
