The Man In The Glass and Do I Think? - Martin - 30-09-2022 The Man In The Glass Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr. When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day Just go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say. For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest For he’s with you, clear to the end And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you’ve cheated the man in the glass. DO I THINK??? Do I think I am cured, do I think because my finances are better I don't need meetings, do I think my relationships are a lot better, do I think because I haven't gambled for some time I don't need to commit 100% to GA, do I think that life is so much better I can relax my barriers, do I think I am not as bad as them (YET), do I think maybe one meeting a month or so is all I need, do I think I have chanaged my character so much I don't need to improve myself anymore, do I think I don't need the 12 steps of recovery, do I think I don't need a sponsor, do I think that any old excuse will get me out of going to a meeting. NO I DON'T. JUST FOR TODAY I WILL NOT GAMBLE. |
