TRUE FRIEND

I met you when I was a week sober
You became my Sponsor
You never judged me
I told you I had
Fifteen years sober before
And should not drink any more

You took me under your wing
You listened to my life story
I told you everything
Even the guts and glory

I tried controlled drinking
But my life started sinking
You never judged me
You helped me change my thinking

I tried more controlled drinking
My life stayed well and stable
One drink, two drinks
Take it or leave it
Yes I was able to do it
I did not drink myself under the table

You accepted me
You accepted me with or without a drink
You stood by my side
When everyone else just ran to hide
