I drank

I drank for Happiness and became unhappy

I drank for Joy and became miserable

I drank for Sociability and became argurmentative

I drank for Sophistication and became obnoxious

I drank for Frienship and made enimies

I drank for Sleep and awakened without rest

I drank for Strenght and felt weak

I drank for Medicinal and aquired health problems

I drank for Relaxation and got the shakes

I drank for Bravery and became affraid

I drank for Confidence and became doubltful

I drank for Conversation and slurred my words

I drank for that Heavenly Feeling and ended up feeling like hell

I drank to Forget and was forever haughted

I drank to Erase the problems and saw them multiply

I drank to Cope with lifes and invited death

I drank for Freedom and became a slave to alcohol

Kathy, I just wanted to say thanks for the post!!! You helped to remind me that he has a side in this too-- and that he's probably hurting although it's easier for me to blame and say he's the bad guy... I forget he's got feelings... I don't know exactly what he's going through, I drank for all the wrong reasons but was fortunate that I loved my kids more than what I was doing... Trying trying and trying some more (((hugs))))
