I Am That Addict pt. 2

 

I am that addict who’s almost four years sober and clean

I am that addict who used to be violent and mean

I am that addict who now leads an honest life

I am that addict who was blessed with a God fearing wife

I am that addict who goes to work everyday

I am that addict who wakes every morning to pray

I am that addict who’s hard times made me much wiser

I am that addict who worked his butt off to become a supervisor

I am that addict who would bum rides to work and get stuck

I am that addict who now has a gas card and a company truck

I am that addict who for 21 years couldn’t go without dope

I am that addict who will go out of my way to bring a message of hope

I am that addict who understands what addicts are going through

I am that addict who started my life over and this is part two
