I AM YOUR DISEASE

I Hate meetings.
I hate a HIGHER POWER...
I hate anyone who has a program.
To all who come in contact with me,
I wish you death and I wish you suffering.
Allow me to introduce myself;
I AM THE DISEASE OF ALCOHOLISM.
I am cunning, baffling and powerful, That’s Me.
I have killed millions and I am pleased.
I love to catch you with the element of surprise.
I love pretending I am your friend or lover.
I have given you comfort haven’t I?
Wasn’t I there when you were lonely?
When you wanted to die, didn’t you call on me? I was there.
I love to make you hurt.
I love to make you cry. Better yet, I love when I
make you so numb you can neither hurt or cry.
When you can’t feel anything at all, this is true gratification.
All I ask of you is long term suffering.
I’ve been there for you always.
When things were going right in your life you invited me.
You said you didn’t deserve these good things and I was the only one who would agree with you.
Together we were able to destroy all things good in your life.
People don’t take me seriously.
They take strokes seriously, heart attack, even diabetes, they take seriously.
Fools!
Without my help, these things would not be possible.
I am such a hated disease and yet, I do not come uninvited.
You choose to have me.
So many have chosen me over reality and peace.
More than you hate me, I hate all of you.
You who have a 12 Step Program.
Your Program, Your Meetings, Your Higher Power.
All these things weaken me and I can’t function in the manner to which I am accustomed.
Now I must lie here quietly.
You don’t see me, but I am growing bigger every day.

WHEN YOU ONLY EXIST, I MAY LIVE,
WHEN YOU LIVE, I ONLY EXIST.
BUT I AM HERE...
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, IF WE MEET AGAIN,
I WISH YOU DEATH AND SUFFERING.
